BB 1-80
BB 1-80
Nicknamed ‘biquettes’ for their tendency to pitch up at start-up, these machines are able to perform mixed services. They were the first to be commissioned by the Paris-Orléan company during the electrification of the Paris-Vierzon line.
When creating the SNCF, the E-BB PO are renumbered BB 1-80. They were particularly at the head of reversible trains in the southeast suburbs of Paris.
After the signing of the Treaty of Rome, Franco-Italian traffic increased and BB 1-80 came as reinforcement on the Maurienne line. They are then transformed into indivisible multiple units, equipped with friction and rheostats.
Characteristics:
available: PO 1924 / sncf 1938 / Maurienne 1960
Power: 972 kW & UM 2000 kW

Notes:
The Maurienne unit is in the diesel category to be used without a catenary. I also recommend using a 3rd rail mod for consistency.
