Tortillard is slang for "a slow-moving train that follows a winding route", probably from
tortureux (torturous). but this one has the name 'Velay Express'! 'Cette ligne est l'un des deux vestiges de l'important réseau à voie métrique des CFD du Vivarais.'
This pic shows an autorail Billard from 1938 previously used on the CdF de Provence (see earlier posts) and withdrawn in 1969.
