Received by the SNCF between 1946 and 1947, the A1A-A1A 62000 are diesel locomotives of American origin, built by Baldwin and adapted to French specifications. Their arrival fulfilled a crucial mission: to help rebuild the railway fleet severely tested by the Second World War, while initiating the strategic transition from steam to diesel traction.
Equipped with a slow, robust and particularly long-lasting diesel engine, the A1A-A1A 62000s stand out for their reliability and ability to withstand prolonged exertion. They were mainly assigned to shunting services, operating in many French regions for almost half a century.
Sturdy, efficient and indispensable to the modernization of the network, they remained with the SNCF until they were completely written off in 1993, marking the end of an emblematic post-war series.
A fascinating subject for lovers of historic diesel locomotives, SNCF heritage and Baldwin equipment.
