No. 3.1102 is a 4-6-4 steam locomotive that was built for the Chemins de fer du Nord by La Chapelle Workshops in July, 1911.

History[]

The Nord needed more powerful locomotives to haul with increasingly heavier passenger train loads. The 2.641 to 2.675 series could no longer cope, so in 1909 the Nord's chief mechanical engineer Gaston Du Bousquet produced a design for a locomotive that had six driving wheels with four-wheel leading and trailing bogies.
