Diesel locomotive CC 72071 "Marseille"
Original livery with number plates

The 200th anniversary of the French Revolution was celebrated in 1989 with a commemorative event in France, particularly honoring the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen on August 26, 1789. As part of these celebrations, the diesel locomotive CC 72030 received a special decoration in the colors of the French flag, as well as the event logo designed by Jean-Michel Folon. The locomotive was repainted a total of four times: first in blue, then in blue-white-red for the 200th anniversary, subsequently in a red multi-service livery, and finally in a last livery. With over 9 million kilometers traveled, it was the French diesel locomotive with the highest mileage and was decommissioned on October 23, 2018.
