The SNCF BB 25500 is a French electric locomotive class for use on the DC power and the AC network SNCF. The locomotives were built by Alsthom of 19 May 1964 to 14 January 1976.

Description

These locomotives are part of a large series, the "BB Alsthom ". A total of 194 locomotives of the type BB 25500 were delivered, but there are also many sister locomotives: 146 BB 8500, BB 294 16500, 105 17000 BB 13 and BB 20200th

The BB 25500 is two system-compatible and can be used in many ways. The top speed is 140 km / h for long-distance trains. But the mediocre suspension, hence the nickname " Danseuses " comes, the locomotive is now confined to the regional and freight services. All BB 25500, which are in passenger transport ( TER) in use, are wendezugfähig.

The BB 25500 has two variants, the locomotives BB 25500-25588 and 25588-25694 BB locomotives, these last have a larger cab.

Operation

The commissioning of the BB 25500 has made it possible that trains throughout can be covered with a single locomotive within France, as with the two traction power systems of France, 1.5 kV DC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC, cope. Since 1 January 1999, BB 25500 are divided into three different divisions: Zoned Fret ( freight), TER and Transilien.

Since 2004 locomotives of this series are discarded, including those who were for SNCF Fret in use. These are replaced by locomotives of the BB 27000 series. The field of application of the BB 25500 is the following:

  • Fret: Ligne de Grande Ceinture (home depot Achères );
  • TER: Dijon, Vénissieux (Lyon ), Marseille, Rennes, Lens;
  • Transilien (locomotives BB 25571, 25574, 25585, 25596-25613 and 25616 ). They operate with VB 2N.

Since the timetable change in 2006 these locomotives drive with rames inox omnibus (RIO ) between France and Switzerland, on the stretch of Geneva -La Plaine Bellegarde. In December 2008, the traffic has been further reinforced by two RIO, for this purpose an additional 25500 BB was necessary.

In addition, a locomotive of this series was rented by SBB Cargo to convey freight trains between Geneva and La Praille / Vernier - Meyrin.

Since the winter timetable 2009/2010, BB 25500 are used for the TER Nord-Pas- de -Calais. There they replace the BB 16500th latter are now only at the TER Picardie in use.
