S. A. de Laminoirs et Cablerie Cossonay operated in and after World War I two extensive Decauville peat railways with 500 and 600 mm gauges in the Marais des Puits in the Orbe plain near Bavois. Their peat presses were set up permanently at a suitable location, and the wet peat was transported from the mobile cutting machines via innovative endless wire sod conveyors to fixed transporteurs and from there by tipping trucks on Decauville tracks to the peat presses. The length of the transportable tracks and the flying collection tracks for the eight peat machines varied greatly because of earlier peat exploitation pits and canals. They consisted of about 6358 m of gauge Decauville track with 50 to 70 mm high rails and about 636 m of mostly hired gauge Decauville track with 45 to 60 mm high rails. The rolling stock for the peat exploitation consisted of 80 platform wagons with a gauge of 600 mm. The rolling stock for peat exploitation consisted of 80 platform wagons of 60 cm. gauge and 10 platform wagons of 50 cm. gauge; thus, on average, 11 platform wagons were available for each peat machine. Due to the large demand for tracks and rolling stock, there were supply difficulties, so that the peat season of 1918 largely passed before the necessary material had been delivered. As the demand for tracks was very high in 1918 due to the large number of peat fields to be exploited and due to many ground improvement works being carried out at the same time, one could not be choosy in the acquisition of track material despite high purchase prices, but had to take what one could get. A track gauge of 600 mm was uniformly chosen for the transport tracks. They were made of , mostly , high loose rails of weight per metre laid on wooden sleepers. The most frequented lines were underlaid with a ballast bed of mine gravel or slag. Their total length was about The rolling stock consisted of four light railway locomotives, 104 tipping lorries of capacity and 16 platform wagons. In the transport tracks there were 39 points for the transportable tracks, partly on wooden sleepers, partly on steel sleepers. There were also a large number of turntables and climbing turntables. The latter were used in particular to connect the transportable tracks with the permanent tracks.
