The CC 72000 was considered the most powerful diesel locomotive of the SNCF when it made its début in 1967. With its diesel-electric drive, the series could handle both high speeds and heavy loads. For over 40 years, the SNCF used the locomotives to pull express trains, for example between Lyon and Marseille or Paris and Basel, as well as heavy freight trains.
