Electric locomotive BB 22241 of the French National Railways.The BB 22200 is a French electric locomotive series for use on the 1.5 kV electric DC network of the SNCF as well as on the 25 kV 50 Hz electrified AC network. The design of the locomotives with the so-called nez cassé (broken nose) comes from the hands of the Frenchman Paul Arzener, who at the time was responsible for the design of several SNCF locomotives. Between 1976 and 1986 Alstom built a total of 205 locomotives in six series. Owing to its multi-system capability and the design as universal locomotive the BB 22200 is used on almost all normal-track electrified routes of France before goods and passenger trains.This text is machine translated.
