SNCF Class C 61000

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The SNCF Class C 61000 (+ TC 61100) diesel locomotives were built by Compagnie Electro-Méchanique (CEM) between 1950-1953. 48 locomotives were built, numbered C 61001-61048. They were used for heavy shunting duties around Le Havre. In addition 12 slave units, numbered TC 61101-61112 were built, to provide extra power. These slave units did not have a cab, thus reducing their weight.

These locomotive have now been withdrawn from SNCF service. However, several have been preserved, and a few were sold to for further use with industry or the Paris Metro operator RATP.
