The International Exhibition of White Coal and Tourism was held in Grenoble in 1925. "White Coal" was a term given to clean hydro-electric power, in contrast to power produced by burning black coal. The PLM added additional trains to accommodate visitors to the fair, over one million of whom visited during the course of the event.
