SNCF Class BB 10003 SNCF Class BB 10003 The locomotive SNCF BB 10003 was an experimental prototype locomotive converted from a SNCF BB 15000 unit and used to develop the use of asynchronous induction traction motors. The locomotive BB 10003 was created from an earlier experimental machine BB 7003 in 1982. It was used to test the use of aysnchronous induction motors in locomotives. From 1986-7 the locomotive was used in experiments testing the viability of a diesel electric locomotive with asynchronous traction motors; the locomotive was coupled to a remotorised SNCF CC 72000 locomotive which acted as an electrical generator. In 1990/1 the
