One of the former steam locomotives, number 8, that used to operate trains on the Chamonix to Montenvers Mer De Glace mountain railway up until 1953. There were six 2-4-2T locomotives built by Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works between 1908 and 1923. This one is seen standing on a stone plinth outside the Chamonix terminus of the Mer De Glace railway.
