The SNCF Class CC 65000 diesel locomotives were built by Alsthom, CAFL and SACM, with 20 examples being built between 1956[1] and 1958.[citation needed] They were most often used in the triangle Nantes-Tours, Tours-Bordeaux and Bordeaux-La Rochelle-Nantes.

The series was withdrawn from service between 1981 and 1988 but two examples were preserved: CC 65001 at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse and CC 65005 by the Train des Mouettes.
