SNCF 232.P.1 was an experimental prototype high-pressure steam locomotive ordered by the Chemins de fer du Nord, but delivered to the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) in 1939 (SNCF was created in 1938 by merging the major French railway companies). It was the first and only member of SNCF's first class of 4-6-4 or Hudson type of locomotives.
