The État 140-101 to 140-370 was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotive of the Chemins de fer de l'État, and subsequently the SNCF, with an output of 900 kW and a speed of up to 70 km/h. Their light weight per axle let them haul both passenger and goods trains on most of the network. The 340 locomotives were ordered in three series: the first 70 were built in France in 1913, and the outbreak of war in 1914 forced the railway to entrust the second series of 200 to Nasmyth, Wilson and Company of Manchester and the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow. In a third series, half were built by North British in 1916 and half by Vulcan Foundry. Eight engines are preserved.
