Ceinture 5001 to 5012 were a class of 2-10-2T tank locomotives of the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris. They were used for hauling freight trains on the Grande Ceinture line in Paris, and later the Région Nord.

The locomotives were designed jointly by the firm of Corpet-Louvet and Henschel & Sohn, and were based on the Prussian T 20. They were delivered to the Ceinture between 1928 and 1930, who numbered them 5001 to 5012.

In 1934, at the dissolution of the Syndicat, they transferred to the Chemins de fer du Nord who renumbered them 5.301 to 5.312.

In 1938, at the creation of the SNCF, they became 2-151.TA.1 to 2-151.TA.12. The SNCF ordered a further 22 of this type, but with the higher boiler pressure of 14 kg/cm (1.37 MPa; 199 psi), as the 151.TQ type.

They were retired between 1962 and 1965. None have been preserved.
