The Francorail-MTE CSE26-21 is a class of diesel-electric locomotives built in France by the GIE Francorail-MTE consortium between 1981 and 1985.[1] The bogies were made by Creusot-Loire, electric equipment and traction motors by Société MTE, while the bodies were made by Carel et Fouché. They were fitted with American-made ALCO 16-251F engines of 3600 hp (2650 kW), and final assembly was performed by Carel-Fouché.[1]
The launch customer was the Korean State Railway of North Korea, which bought seven units in 1981, and a further five in 1985.[1][2] Subsequently, the Kim Chong-t'ae Electric Locomotive Works developed electric locomotives on the basis of the French-made units.[2] The bulk of production, was for the Iraqi Republic Railways, who received 72 units numbered in the series DEM 4001 - 4011 and DEM 4101 - 4161[3] from 1982. The Saudi Railways Organization received six locomotives of the type in 1983, numbered 3603 through 3608.[1]
