Compagnie des chemins de fer départementaux de l'Aisne
The Compagnie des chemins de fer départementaux de l'Aisne (CDA) was a railway company founded in 1905 that mainly built and operated narrow-gauge railways in the French department of Aisne . The meter-gauge lines ( gauge 1000 millimeters) were partially re-gauged or three - rail expanded from 1917 , from 1910 purely regular- gauge lines (gauge 1435 millimeters) were built.
In the years of its greatest expansion, the CDA network had a length of 196 kilometers. In 1922 the CDA merged with its parent company, Compagnie du chemin de fer de Saint-Quentin à Guise, to form Compagnie des chemins de fer secondaires du Nord-Est (CFS-NE).
