The electric locomotive 242 AE 1 of the Compagnie du chemin de fer Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée , later 2BB2 3201 of the SNCF , was a test locomotive for 1500 V direct current . The locomotive was assigned to the Chambéry depot and was used on the north ramp of the Mont-Cenis Railway before being scrapped in 1967.
technology
The car body rests on the two closely coupled bogies and does not absorb any tensile forces. Each running gear is equipped with a PLM type bogie to improve the locomotive's running characteristics. The manufacturer SACM , from which Alstom later emerged, used different drives for the two bogies. One bogie was with a Westinghouse spring drive , the other with a hollow shaft drive with a joint mechanism and a "dancing ring" .
