36030 & 36021 (F-SNCF) at Antwerpen Berchem 2012 06 12
11.06: 11.07: 36030 & 36021 (F-SNCF) on a French wagon covered steel freight from the Docks.
The SNCF BB36000s are the same model as the Belgium Class 13s and CFL Class 3000s.
Built (like all new SNCF electrics) by Alstom, they were built from 1996 - 2002 and are officially called "Astride" (Asynchron Tricurrent Drive Engine).
Only 60 of the Class were built half were configured for working in Belgium and France (36001 to 36030) while the rest were configured for Italy and France.
SNCF started leasing out these locos to the point they have spent time in Morocco and are now turning up in Hungary leased to Fox Rail and configured for use in H/CZ/SK/RO/SLO/HR/F.
