Duration

Of the 60 machines in the BB 37000 series delivered to SNCF, the BB 37007 had to be retired in 2006 after an accident. In addition, 31 machines of the identical E 37500 series were delivered to the private Veolia and CB Rail . Due to their multi-system suitability, these machines are regularly used with freight trains to and from Germany.
