Alstom + Siemens: BB 75000  
Railcolor.net does not have an official list of all BB 75000 diesel-electric locomotives built by Alstom/Siemens. But in the past years we have collected some information:

433 units where originally ordered.

BB 75007 was the first one to be delivered - TduSO

There are three sub series:
- 99 units with a 2000kW MTU R41 diesel engine: numbers BB 75001 to 099
- 33 units with the same diesel engine, and homologated for Germany: numbers BB 75101-75133 - 68 units will be delivered with a 2400 kW MTU R43 diesel engine: BB 75401-75468

All engines delivered are part of the AKIEM fleet, also availabe for leasing.

BB 75079 to 099 are to be leased to SNCF Infra and have / will get a yellow livery. 75079 to 75090 are already painted like that (March 2011)

BB 75039, 75041, 75102, 75103 were the first to be neutralised, they were repainted in silver. - TduSO

a BB 75100 does NOT exist

BB 75109 has been used to get the type homologated for Slovakia. The locomotive was approved in March 2011. - BRKS

Originally, Siemens would produce 130 frames in Munich, than to be transported to Belfort for completion. However, after building 18 frames, it was decided to do all the hardware in Belfort. Siemens reservated the works number 21286-21415 for this project, but finally only 21286-21303 were used. The remaining number sequences were filled with new orders. - Siemens
