'''Decauville Portable Railway System'''
'''[[Decauville et Compagnie]]''' ''(see seperate page)'' was a manufacturing company founded by Paul Decauville (1846–1922), a French pioneer in industrial railways. Decauville's major innovation was the use of ready-made sections of light, narrow gauge track fastened to steel sleepers; this track was portable and could be disassembled and transported very easily <ref name=Wiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decauville Wikipedia "Decauville"]; Retrieved 11 Mar 2017</ref>
Starting in 1875 the company produced track elements, locomotives and wagons. These were exported to many countries <ref name=Wiki/>.
