The P 8 was a universal locomotive, found hauling all types of trains. After the turmoil of the two World Wars, they were in service with almost every European railway administration. These locomotives were present in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union. In 1919, 162 locomotives arrived in France, including 25 for the AL (Autoroutes-Lyonnaise), 25 for the EST (Estuaire de la France), 75 for the NORD (Nord), 17 for the ETAT (État des Transports Aériennes) (as numbers 230.943-959, all withdrawn from service in 1940 except for number 943), and 20 for the MIDI (Midi). In 1945, four more locomotives arrived at the SNCF (French National Railways) as war booty.
