French manufacturer of railcars

A Billard draisine, once circulating on the Réseau Breton and preserved by the ACFCdN.
Share of the Anciens Etablissements Billard & Cie, issued 4. July 1928

Établissements Billard was a French railway rolling stock construction company founded in 1920 and based in Tours. It specialised in light railbuses and metre gauge and narrow gauge rolling stock. The business ceased trading in 1956 and later became Socofer.

Production

Draisines

  • Draisines : These worked on different VFILs, and for the "Big Companies" which became the SNCF.

Locomotives

Billard Locomotive Y 7200
  • T50
  • T75D
  • T75P
