The "Pacific 231" have been part of the railway legend for almost a century. And more particularly the prestigious "6000" of the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (P.L.M.).
It was in response to the increase in speed and towed loads as well as the increase in traffic at the beginning of the twentieth century that the P.L.M., after the P.O., the West and the South, studied and commissioned its first "Pacific" in 1909. They were neither the most advanced nor the most powerful of the French "Pacific". But they were the most numerous and circulated in all regions. And above all, in the eyes of many amateurs, they were and will always be the most beautiful.
Delivered between 1909 and 1932, with 462 units - symbolically twice as many as "231" - the "Pacific" P.L.M. form the largest and most homogeneous series in the French "Pacific" fleet.
