Overview

This series of 20 engines, numbered 42-001 to 42-021, was built by Fives Lille and was allocated to the Bâtignoles engine shed. Although they were designed in 1913, production was delayed by World War I until 1923, when the Chemin de Fer de l'État took delivery. They were designed to serve in the western suburbs of Paris. In 1930, the engines were equipped with remote driving. The driver could operate the engine from the driving cabin of a Voiture État à 2 étages carriage at the other end of the train, using compressed-air pipes. This saved much time at terminals. The engines were modified, primarily with the addition of a smoke deflector and a closed cab.

The electrification of the Réseau Saint-Lazare moved the engines to Brittany. The last of the series were allocated to the St-Brieux engine shed and rented to the CTFA after the replacement of the track on the lines to Carhaix and Paimpol and change of the gauge to standard gauge. The last 141 TC served in 1971 and the 141 TC 19 was preserved by the AJECTA.

The 141s were renumbered 3.141TC 1 to 20 by the SNCF in 1938.

Design

Studies were led in parallel with the one of the 140 C. The 141 were of simple expansion with two cylinders and possessed the powerful fireboxes the 140 C. although the firboxes were excellent, the rest was of average quality with cylinders particularly of small diametre (25 cm). The Chemin de Fer de l'État chose small wheels as to give the engines the capacity to start up quickly. The railway company was very satisfied with the engines as they were capable of hauling the heavy metallic coaches.
