The historic electric locomotive from Villey-Saint-Étienne stands on the banks of the Moselle, not far from Toul. It was formerly used to pull barges from the bank with a rope through the canal. It thus replaced the work of humans and draft animals that had been common until then. Even in the 1950s and 1960s, it was in operation on the rails along the canal. In 2013, the municipality had the locomotive restored. Today, it stands by the cycle path and is a reminder of the former inland navigation in the region.
