This book offers an exhaustive exploration of the 250 Mikado State locomotives, heirs to the P.O. 5801/5802 prototypes, tracing their technical and operational life from design to retirement. After a detailed and abundantly illustrated analysis - plans, photos, diagrams, performance curves - it presents the individual career of each machine at the SNCF, with their depots of assignment, their passages in workshops, their mileage and their eventual transformations.
A chapter devoted entirely to the last survivor, the 141 C 100, reveals every aspect and period of its career. The 12 examples built for Morocco are also studied, as is the model-making reproduction of this great Mikado family. The whole is placed in the context of the Western depots, their operation and their gradual closure to steam traction, with a complete inventory of the different types of Mikado for each depot. An indispensable reference work for all enthusiasts wishing to gain an in-depth understanding of this emblematic series of French railway heritage.
