Built in 1938 in the northern city of Calais, the train, one of two last Pacific locomotives in the world, linked Paris to London. The registration 231 E 41 means 2 axles, 3 motors axles and 1 carrier axle. The E series was the most advanced technically. Finally, 41, because it was the 41st Pacific locomotive of this series.
