The 95 km system of the PO-Corrèze or POC was another metre-gauge network established in the département, conceded to the Compagnie du Chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans (P.O) - after the beginning of 1938 the SNCF - and built by the Société de construction des Batignolles. The network, which opened in 1904 and closed in 1970, was centred on Tulle.
