After the First World War transferred to the Sablières de Bourron-Marlotte (Seine-et-Marne) and given the number 3. Purchased incomplete by the AMTP, which recovered all the elements that could be used as spare parts. After the reconstruction of the cabin and the holds, it was loaned to the city of Pithiviers in 1999 and displayed as a monument at the roundabout near the Pithiviers shopping center.

The locomotive was originally delivered to the Heeresfeldbahn as HF 830. After the First World War the locomotive came to the Bourron sand quarry at Bourron-Marlotte, where it was used under No. 3. After she was put away, she came to the Pithiviers Transport Museum around 1970. She was used as a spare parts donor and the remaining locomotive torso was set up as a signpost in front of the museum. Today the locomotive torso carries the boiler of the Henschel 15273/1917, ex HF 1534, which was also used at the Bourron sand pit.
