Presentation of the locomotive under reference 10224:
This series of electric locomotives was put into service to replace steam locomotives on electrified secondary lines. These locomotives were used to haul passengers and goods.
Benefiting from moderate power, they were used for almost 30 years. Subsequently, a reform was implemented from 1994.
These locomotives were regularly put into service on the Causses lines, from Béziers to Neussargues. They were characterised by their "featherweight" (so very light) and had a low centre of gravity.
