The P 8, as a universal locomotive, was commonly used on various types of trains. After the troubled times of the two world wars, it was in service in virtually all European railway administrations. It was found in Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union.
