The SNCF Class Y 8000 is a class of diesel shunter built between 1977 and 1990.
History and design
The locomotives were developed by SNCF for shunting duties.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Initial construction was by Locotracteurs Gaston Moyse until that company ceased business, then by Fauvet Girel.[1]
Y 8000 machines were used to replace older shunting engines, as well as trip work on minor lines.[2]
The locomotives were 2 axle machines with both axles powered by a Poyaud (SSCM) diesel engine via a Voith hydraulic transmission. Locomotives were later re-engined (1997) with lower emission RVI engines; when re-engined locomotives received the green SNCF Fret livery.[3][1][2]
The locomotives also are certified for use in Italy, limited to shunting work:[3] Y 8120 has been operated by SNCF subsidiary CapTrain Italia.[4]
After 1989 production shifted to a mechanically identical Y 8400 type, which incorporated a radio control system for shunting.
