List of Chemins de Fer du Nord locomotives

The Chemins de Fer du Nord was one of the five main constituents of the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF) at its creation in 1938.

Jules Petiet (1848–1871)

Jules Petiet was made the Chief of Works in 1845, and Locomotive Engineer in 1848, a post he held until his death in January 1871.
