The SNCF Class BB 7200 is a 1.5 kV DC electric locomotive operated by the SNCF in France. It is the DC version of the 'Nez Cassé' family of locomotives. SNCF Class BB 15000 is the AC version while the Class BB 22200 is a dual-voltage version. They are numbered to show that the DC and AC class numbers add up to the dual-voltage locomotive class number (7200 + 15000 = 22200). Another relative is the NS Class 1600 operated in the Netherlands, a DC locomotive based on the BB 7200.

7209, 7210, 7308 and 7348 have all been destroyed in accidents.

The class is numbered 7201 - 7440. Some have cast plates. [1]

In 2012 and 2013, the locomotives numbered 7311, 7312, 7314, 7325, 7327, 7330, 7332, 7335, 7337, 7339, 7341 and 7342 were modified and become BB 7600 locomotives, to be operated on Transilien Paris – Montparnasse lines.

gollark: The best way would probably be orbital lasers in some places and also traffic lights embedded in roads, I guess?

gollark: It is annoying that *this* game/server doesn't have orbital lasers. I considered launching some like on CNLite but it wouldn't work well.
