Prototype and historical background

The class 040-TX was used by the SNCF as a powerful shunting locomotive. These locomotives were intended for heavy shunting work in stations and freight yards and proved themselves with their robust construction and high tractive power. In Era III, these locomotives dominated the image of many French railroad operations. With their compact design and characteristic arrangement of the axles, they were ideal for tight shunting movements.
