Traduction automatique. Texte original en: EN - afficher l'original The BB 9200 is a legendary class of French electric locomotives built for the SNCF and renowned for both its robust engineering and its role in high-speed rail history. 

Designed as part of the BB Jacquemin family, these Bo'Bo' electric locomotives were constructed between 1957 and 1964 by Creusot-Loire, Jeumont-Schneider and CEM, with a total of 92 units entering service. 

Powered by 1500 V DC overhead lines, the BB 9200 delivered about 3850 kW and was originally authorised for speeds up to 160 km/h.

A specially modified subset - famously known as the BB 9200 Capitole - achieved commercial operation at 200 km/h, making them among the first locomotives in the world to reach such speeds in regular passenger service during the late 1960s. 

These locomotives hauled a wide range of services, from important inter-regional passenger trains to express and freight duties across major French routes.

After decades of service, the BB 9200 class was gradually retired between the early 2000s and 2015, and several examples are now preserved in museums and by rail heritage groups. / Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCF_Class_BB_9200
