ETAT 140-344 stands in the Cité du Trainj in Mulhouse om 30 May 2019. She was one of a 200 strong order, placed by two British loco building companies because of the need for strong freight locomotives (for troop deployments amongst others). Although build for freight service, these 80 km/h fast engines were often deployed on mundane passenger services. In 1975 the last members of this class went out of service, but 140-344 remains.
