The Tramway de Pithiviers à Toury (TPT) was a significant part of the history of the Loiret department in France. This 600 mm gauge railway was constructed to transport sugar beet, a major agricultural product in the area. The railway stretched over a distance of 80 kilometres, connecting Pithiviers and Toury, two towns that are 31 kilometres apart.
Preservation of the Tramway de Pithiviers à Toury
The Association du Musée des Transports de Pithiviers (AMTP) was established with the aim of preserving at least a portion of the TPT line. Their efforts were successful, and the preserved line was reopened to the public on 23 April 1966. This preserved line offers visitors a glimpse into the past and the important role the railway played in the region's history.
