what is it?

Nord 3.606 to 3.787 were 0-6-0 locomotives for mixed traffic of the Chemins de Fer du Nord. The machines were the continuation of the Nord 265 to 274 (3.265–3.274) Mammouth locomotives of 1849, and hence were also referred to by the same nickname. They were retired from service from 1910 until end of 1930.
