SNCF Class BB 75000
The SNCF BB 75000 (also known as the SNCF BB 475000) are 4 axle, Bo′Bo′, diesel electric locomotives ordered in 2000 by SNCF for freight operations to renew its aging fleet. The locomotives are also classified as Prima DE30BAC They are similar in appearance to the SNCF Class BB 27000, but are in fact the result of a collaboration between Alstom and Siemens. The internal electrical components are similar to those found in the Siemens EuroRunner made for ÖBB; the Rh 2016, and the bodyshell, bogies and other equipment being of the Prima type made by Alstom. The initial order was for 400 machines to be delivered from 2007 onwards with an option for a further 100 additional machines. The order is valued at 1 billion euros. Development Background The order for the BB 75000 resulted from a long and arduous project of renewal of diesel freight locomotives, which began in 2000, and spans a period of seven years from the announcement of the tender to the delivery of the new BB 7500 ...

SNCF Class CC 72000
The SNCF Class CC 72000 was a class of C′C′ diesel-electric locomotives designed and built by French manufacturing conglomerate Alsthom. They are regarded as being the most powerful class of diesel locomotives to be built in France. Ninety-two locomotives were produced between 1967 and 1974, numbered CC 72001 to CC 72092. The last regular workings of the type were conducted during August 2019. Development and design During the 1960s, French national railway operator SNCF investigated the use of high-power diesel locomotives for heavy express trains on its non-electrified major lines. Following trials of prototype locomotives during the mid-1960s, which were considerably more powerful than any equivalent previously operated by the SNCF, it chose to order 92 locomotives for mixed passenger and high speed freight traffic. Designated ''CC 72000'', the class was a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive. Each locomotive had one SACM 16 cylinder four-stroke diesel engine of 3,550 ...

SNCF Class BB 67000
The Class BB 67000 are diesel locomotives in service with the SNCF ("French National Railway Company") from the 1960s. History The first of the big diesels introduced by SNCF in the 1960s to replace steam locomotives and an early example of Paul Arzens' styling. The class was originally designated as mixed traffic locomotives with the bogies geared accordingly. Later they were allocated to freight work only and the gearing adjusted. They were never fitted with train heating boilers but worked with boiler vans on passenger duties. Thirty members of the class were rebuilt to class BB 67200 specifications between 1980 and 1984 to work ballast trains on the LGV network. 67036 became the prototype ETH locomotive and renumbered 67291. This was the prototype for the BB 67300 class and sixteen of the original locomotives were rebuilt to the latter specification. Technical details The locomotive is powered by a V16 90 degree 2400 bhp BHP Group Limited (formerly known as BHP Bil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SNCF Class BB 66000
The SNCF Class BB 66000 is a class of 318 centre cab diesel locomotives built for SNCF by a consortium of CAFL, CEM, Alsthom, Fives-Lille and SACM between 1960 and 1968. Description Numbered from BB 66001 to BB 66318, the locomotives were long and weighed . Powered by an MGO V16BSHR diesel engine developing , they had a maximum speed of . They were intended for shunting and trip working. Though designed as a mixed traffic locomotive, they had no provision for train heating and could be seen working with boiler vans on passenger services. With the general introduction of electric train heating they were relegated to freight work. Under the original SNCF numbering scheme the first 80 locomotives were numbered 040 DG 1 to 040 DG 81..
