Not to be confused with Billiard(s). For the actress and model, see Bobbi Billard.

A Billard draisine, once circulating on the Réseau Breton and preserved by the ACFCdN.

Établissements Billard was a French railway rolling stock construction company 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
  • T75G

These were designed for the French Military Railway. They were used, among other things, to service the Maginot Line.

Railbuses

Billard railbus N° 314, type A 80D, from the Chemin de fer du Vivarais

Railbuses for numerous French VFIPs (secondary railways)

Several European networks

A Billard train for the Diakofto railway (Greece), made up of two cars with a motor van containing a generator to power the traction motors.
  • In Greece
  • In Spain
    • A Micheline was built in the 1930s for the PO
    • Three buses with bogies on a wide chassis worked on the Nord-Est.
    • A series of railbuses with two axles were built for the CFD and the SNCF in 1949 and 1950
    • A series of FNC railbuses were deployed by the SNCF

The solidity of the stock, and the simplicity of construction, means that many Billard engines are still working today.
