The État 231-500 to 231-783 was a series of 4-6-2 steam locomotives of the Chemin de fer de l'État. In all, 289 engines of the series were built starting in 1914, with deliveries from 1916 through 1923, to replace and supplement the 231 B, which had a tendency to derail. The class was numbered 231-501 to 231-783 by the railway and 231.C.501 to 231.C.783 by the SNCF, with class letters C to H depending on the level of rebuilding and modernisation. The first locomotives were built by Fives-Lille, but only the first entered service before Lille was overrun by the German army in the First World War. Orders were then placed with the North British Locomotive Company of Scotland for 40 locomotives.
