Nord 4.001 to 4.075 and 4.636 to 4.990, also called 180 unités, were 0-8-0 locomotives for freight traffic of the Chemins de Fer du Nord.[1]

Construction history

The locomotives were built in several batches by various manufacturers.[1] Starting with 1879 a Belpaire firebox was installed in the newly built machines,[2] and beginning with 1890 the locomotives were equipped with a cab.[3]
