Ceinture 4001 to 4005 , was a class of five 4-8-0T tank locomotives designed by the Chemins de fer de l'Ouest for the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris .
They were built by Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques (SACM) at their Belfort Works in 1904
In 1934 they passed to the Chemins de fer du Nord , who renumbered them Nord 4.001 to 4.005 .
In 1938 at the formation of the SNCF , they became 240.TA.1 to 240.TA.5 .
One locomotive, 240.TA.2 was destroyed in World War II and written-off the books in September 1944. The remaining four locomotives continued in service until they were all retired in September 1948. None were preserved.
