"Nez cassé" is the name given to SNCF locomotives with slightly sloping front windows and a slightly angular front end, although this designation only emerged in the early 2000s. The designer of the locomotive, Paul Arzens, saw the athlete starting a race as his inspiration for this design, which was intended to express speed. It wasn't until the construction of the "Sybic" in 1988 that Alstom abandoned this design in locomotive construction. The first locomotives of this type were the SNCF CC 40100 in 1964, which gave me the opportunity to "dig up" this photo. It shows the SNCF CC 40108 with the IC 435 from Paris Gare du Nord to Cologne during a stop in Namur in the early summer of 1984. Other locomotive series followed, such as the CC 72000, BB 1500, and 22200. Today, the last "Nez Cassé" locomotives were built in the mid-1980s, and these interesting locomotives can still be seen occasionally, but they will likely only be in service for a few more years.
