A little touch of history:
The BB 60000 are diesel locomotives put into service by the SNCF company for the Freight activity. These models were intended to replace the BB 63400 / 63500 series. The railway company had a choice of 3 models, namely, Vossloh's G 1000, Firema's D 146 Trenitalia and a derivative of SBB's Am 841 proposed by Alstom-Spain. Alstom's proposal was chosen.
