At the beginning of the 1970s, on the initiative of Roger Prévot, mayor of Villeneuve-la-Garenne from May 1953 until his death on October 6, 1999, the General Council of the Hauts-de-Seine department, of which he was vice-president at the time, decided to build the Chanteraines departmental park.

In spring 1984, under an agreement with the Hauts-de-Seine General Council, the Chemin de Fer des Chanteraines (CFC) association took over the operation of the route and the maintenance of the tracks and rolling stock.

[1] In October 2009, the CFC association organized the 19th International Narrow Gauge Railway Meeting.

On March 22, 2023, the e OBO-01, the first of two purely battery-electric locomotives, equipped with compressed air brakes and built by the Compagnie de chemins de fer départementaux (CFD) in Paris, arrived at the CFC depot.

After test runs in April, including with four wagons loaded with cement sacks, the locomotive made its first public passenger journeys on the open day in May.
