"Les Quais de l'Histoire" (The Platforms of History) area of the Cité du Train displays all kinds of locomotives from 1844 to the present day. It constitutes an immersion into the railways' history through emblematic old models. In the "Steam, how does it work?" space, a 232 U 1 steam locomotive starts up every 30 minutes. Nicknamed "la Divine" (the Divine), this machine was designed for towing loads of 200 to 500 tons at speeds between 99 to 124 mph (160 to 200 km/h. It was used until 1961.
