France

In France, it was the Compagnie of the North (of which the research department was always very dynamic), the Compagnie of the East, the Compagnie of the PLM and the Réseau of Al which reflect in work these types of engines whose majority were Baltic . Only the Compagnie of North under the impulse of Marc de Caso wanted to carry out Hudson but the creation of the SNCF made that it was it which brought them into service: ; Network of Al: 8301 to 8366 series T 17 of 1905 with 1913, future: 1-232 TB 301 to 366
8401 to 8427 series T 18 of 1915 with 1918, future: 1-232 TC 401 to 427 ; Company of the East: 3901 to 3940 series 11 of 1904 and 1909, future: 3901 to 33940 series 11 S (a) (following transformations), future: 1-232 MT 901 to 940 ; Company of North: 3801 to 3865 of 1908 brought into service in the northern suburbs of Paris, future: 2-232 T ?
3871 to 3884 of 1919, machines of ROD (English Task force of 1914 with 1918), future: 2-232 T ?
3.1101 and 3.1102 , prototypes of a new kind of fast engine studied in 1910 for the trailer of the express train heavy and intended to replace the Atlantic : the engineer Gaston Of Bousquet will make them build in 1911. They were particularly powerful for the time but unfortunately the premature death of their originator will put an end to their development. ; Company of the PLM: 5501 to 5525 of 1908 with 1910, future: 5-232 T ?
5301 to 5350 of 1911, future: 5-232 T ? ; the SNCF: 2 - 232 R of 1938
2 - 232 S of 1938
2 - 232 U 1 of 1948 The 232 U 1 as well as the 3.1102 are preserved at the Cité of the train of Mulhouse. The Baltic is presented " écorchée" such as it was exposed during the International exhibition of the techniques of Paris in 1937.

It is the Alco which built the first 232-tender for the New York Central in 1924. It is at that time that one gave them the name of Hudson . Milwaukee Road also implemented Baltic in 1930. In 1938 the company brought into service of the shaped 232 which were then the fastest engines.
