a Pacific with sausages

 

At Lisieux, France, in 1964 with a Paris-Cherbourg express, locomotive 231 D 722 - a 4-6-2 Pacific type - hauls lightweight passenger cars formerly of the Chemins de Fer de l'Etat, nicknamed saucissons or sausages because of their rounded shape.  Not only that but the windows had an unusual oval shape - more on them here
