The prototype: BB 62405 of the SNCF

In the 1990s, the SNCF procured used diesel-electric locomotives of the 2400 series from the Dutch State Railways (NS) to support the construction of new high-speed lines. After an overhaul by the workshop in Tilburg, these locomotives were used in France as the BB 62400 series. Their nickname "Hollandaises" reflects their Dutch origin.

The BB 62405, part of this class, was in service in 1999 in a faded operating condition and was often used in double locomotive units to haul heavy trains over demanding routes.
