--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In 1838, the Chamber of Commerce of Gray Called on the authorities to establish a rail line between Gray and Blesme Haussignemont (between Vitry le Francois and StDizier) to transport metal products in the region. Gray was at that time the center of iron ore seams, (the ore available at the surface having been exhausted), treated and processed locally by blast furnaces powered with charcoal. At that time coke fired blast furnaces did not exist. Because of the Revolution and administrative delays, this route through Chalindrey did not become the center of the rail network that we know; work at Langres and Chaumont, only started in 1848, at the time a part of line 4 which had not actually reached that far.
However at that time the PLM wanted to connect Gray to Besancon, and especially Auxonne, which would then allow a connection between various centres of metallurgical industries, including Creusot among other big consumers of low carbon iron ore from Gray. This explains why Gray became the interchange station for Est/PLM. The Est company realizing it then had a connection with Dijon via Is sur Tille. This link was later extended to Chatillon sur Seine and then toTroyes with the focus and main reason being the traffic flow of metal products ...
Gray and Vesoul were connected at the request of military authorities of the time as a strategic line for rapid movement of troops from the south, for which reason it was built with double track.
Until 1938, Gray was an important rail center bigger even than Chalindrey and even saw the passage of international trains bound for Switzerland and even Italy.
The first unexpected hard blow was in 1938 when the then very new SNCF sold the single-track Gray Chalindrey line to the Company of the Economic Railroads ancestor of the CFTA and entrusted passenger traffic between Gray and Vesoul to the same company. Indeed unable to compete with modern iron and steel industry with the coke fired blast furnaces, the local iron and steel industry had ceased exploitation of the iron ores, the last charcoal blast furnace closing in 1920 Mechanical engineering replaced the furnaces – the construction of tractors, stoves and cookers. The remainder of the goods traffic forwarding by Gray was made up of wine from the Midi and coal from the Saone coming to Gray to be transhipped on trains. At that time an important military center ensured also a considerable traffic. In 1940, the bridge on the Saone of the line of Besancon was dynamited by the French troops in retirement and never rebuilt. At the beginning of the 70s CFTA ceased passenger traffic from Gray to Chalindrey, to Is on Tille and Chatillon and Vesoul. The single-track line to Chalindrey was removed iron and the line to Vesoul was used for occasional cereal trains to Autet, no longer used by velo rails to Mont Vernois it is little used and only remains because it is still classified strategic line. The station (at Gray?) is now a temple of Jehova’s. Witnesses”
REASON FOR CHOOSING 1938
Several lines met at Gray. The station still had its double awning modelled on the station at Vesoul. It was destroyed in 1944 along with the main buildings by American bombardment. They were never rebuilt, but the station remained in use.. The transfer to the CFE only happened at the end of the year, thus in the time of the SNCF.
Some fast trains and expresses, certain international trains and many goods trains used the station.
And then in September 1938 there was a renewal of military activities following the Munich coup and a battery (of anti-aircraft guns?) was stationed there for a few weeks. The author has modelled this battery and you can add the Crochat “locotracteur” modelled by Stefane Keller Stef 38.
At the declaration of war in 1939, a hundred engines of American origin, 140G and H, were sent to Gray. the reason for this storage is unknown.
In 1938 the Gray depot included about sixty engines from the Est and PLM companies From the Est came 130B, 230B, 230TA, 040B, armistice18, some other antiquities, such as the Gudmont and especially the Rimaucourt which still runs on the Ajecta. From the PLM, 040B and 050B, certain 140J and 141C and also other engines of which we do not have information.
Gray was in 1975 the last steam depot in France and continues the maintenance of some steam engines,but mostly locotracteurs and other diesels.
DESCRIPTION
The V1 attached reproduces the two lines north Chalindrey Gray and Gray-Vesoul. Soon we will reach Is sur Tille, then Chatillon sur Seine and finally Troyes before heading to Auxonne and Besancon.
