They were designed by Marc de Caso, an engineer working in the company's engineering design office. They were equipped with the same boiler as the Nord's "Superpacifics" (3.1251 to 3.1290) They also had "Cossart" type rotary cam actuated valve gear.
The series were renumbered 2-141.TC.1 to 2-141.TC.72 by SNCF after its creation in 1938; the class was still in service until December 12, 1970, when the use of steam traction on the Nord commuter network had ended.
From 1936, as an economy measure, the boiler pressure was reduced from 1.8 to 1.6 megapascals (260 to 230 lbf/in2), and the cylinder bore was reduced from 640 to 585 millimetres (25.20 to 23.03 in). This reduced the tractive effort from 266.37 to 197.38 kilonewtons (59,880 to 44,370 lbf).
Service historyedit
In 1935, the 4.1200s essentially provide commuter services at the head of push-pull trains composed of five to nine cars, up to 420 tons gross. They are assigned in part to depots of Joncherolles [fr], Mitry, Beaumont ... They are found between Paris on the one hand and Ermont, Creil and Pontoise on the other. In addition to the commuter traffic, 4.1200's also take charge of the freight service between Persian-Beaumont and Luzarches with reversal at Montsoult.
The beginning of the end began in 1969 and the last two trains to have been powered by 2-141.TC ran on December 12, 1970, with train 1731 between Paris-Nord and Valmondois via Ermont-Eaubonne (with 2-141.TC.64), and train 1748 between Persian-Beaumont and Paris-Nord via Valmondois and Ermont-Eaubonne (with 2-141.TC.54)[2]
Preservationedit
141.TC.51 stored at Ascq
One locomotive has been preserved: 4.1251 / 2-141.TC.51 (SFB 2696 of 1934). This locomotive was featured in an exhibition at the Brussels International Exposition, in 1935. It has since been preserved by AAATV of Lille, and stored at Ascq.
