Description
Steam locomotive class 232 TC of the French State Railways.
Round roof
Die-cast metal chassis
The SNCF purchased twenty-seven locomotives of type T18 from the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine. The locomotives were built between 1915 and 1918 by the Vulcan works. They were stationed in Strasbourg, Haguenau, Sélestat, Colmar, and Mulhouse. Due to their incredible top speed of 100 km/h, large water reservoir, and much-appreciated smooth-running characteristics, they were mainly used in fast suburban traffic. The last 232 TCs quit regular services at the SNCF and were decommissioned in 1966.
