# SNCF Class BB 71000

The SNCF Class BB 71000 is a class of 30 centre-cab B′B′ diesel shunting locomotives. Introduced in 1965, they were the last locomotives in service with SNCF to feature side rods. The class was withdrawn from traffic between 1998 and 1999. A number were sold on for industrial use.

## Description

This small series of 30 locomotives was built by the Departmental Railway Company (CFD), following the BB 60001 which served as their prototype. They were delivered from March 1965 to February 1966. These locomotives, with mechanical transmission and driving rods, were mainly used on freight services. Despite the better efficiency of the mechanical transmission, per gross ton towed and per kilometer, than that of a locomotive with electric transmission, their lack of reliability led to 21 of them being resold to various companies. Certain V12 engines were coupled to a Leroy-Somer alternator, producing 660 volts in three phases (star coupling), as a high power generator (580 kVA), installed in a generator van, for TEE trains (car air-conditioned stainless steel PBA, Mistral 1969, and Grand Confort).

## Preservation

* BB 71001, formerly owned by the Pyrénées-Orientales Departmental Council and based in Boulou, used by the local rail operator (OFP) at Languedoc-Roussillon for shunting and acquired by the latter.
* BB 71008, Re-engineered with a Cummins prime mover and preserved by Trains and Traction.
* BB 71010, ex-Rive Bleue Express, acquired in 2022, by the Fédération des amis des chemins de fer secondaires (FACS).
* La BB 71015 acquired by le chemin de fer de la Vendée in 2022.
* BB 71018 acquired by le chemin de fer de la Vendée in 2022.
* BB 71027 acquired by le chemin de fer de la Vendée in 2023.
* BB 71030 by Patry.
# SNCF Class C 61000

The SNCF Class C 61000 (+ TC 61100) diesel shunters were built by Compagnie Electro-Méchanique (CEM) between 1950 and 1953. 48 locomotives were built, numbered C 61001–61048. They were used for heavy shunting duties around Le Havre.
Two traction motors were fitted to the two end axles, all the axles being coupled by coupling rods.

## Slave units

In addition, twelve slave units, numbered TC 61101-61112 were built, to provide extra power. These slave units did not have a cab, thus reducing their weight.

## Disposal

These locomotive have now been withdrawn from SNCF service. However, several have been preserved, and a few were sold to for further use with industry or the Paris Metro operator RATP.
# SNCF Class CC 14100

The SNCF Class CC 14100 was a class of 25 kV 50 Hz AC electric centre cab locomotives designed to haul heavy freight trains in the northeast of France and cross-border traffic into Luxembourg. A total of 101 locomotives were produced, numbered CC 14101 – CC 14202.

## Service use

Introduced at the time when steam traction was being phased out, the torque of these locomotives was exceptional. During tests, a CC 14100 started a train weighing 1,850 tonnes (1,820 long tons; 2,040 short tons) on an 1.1% slope, and a 3,500 tonnes (3,400 long tons; 3,900 short tons) train on a 0.5% slope. Their slow speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) became a liability in later years and by 1986 individual locomotives were being withdrawn as they came due for overhaul or major repairs. The last members of the class survived until 1997, mainly on shunting duties.

## Preservation

CC 14161 is on display on a short length of track next to a supermarket car park in Conflans-en-Jarnisy. CC 14183 is at the Carreau Wendel Museum at Petite-Rosselle.
# SNCF Class Y 7400

The Y 7400 class of small shunters is France's most numerous with 488 locomotives in the production build. The first 120 were built by Decauville, with further batches built by De Dietrich (105) and Moyse (263). They have the 0-4-0 ("B") wheel arrangement, 150 kW diesel engines and mechanical transmission. They can be found all over the French network.
During 1959 Y 7192 was converted to mechanical transmission and renumbered as Y 7001. This locomotive was the prototype for the Y7400 class.

## Operators

In addition to the locomotives operated by SNCF, RATP have two Y 7400 class locomotives built in 1969 by Moyse. They are numbered T 102 & T 103 and were not part of the SNCF fleet. Likewise VFLI have two Y 7400 locomotives, 088 & 089, which were originally built for CFD. VFLI have augmented their fleet with Y 7474 and Y 7684 purchased from SNCF.
Some of them are preserved by tourist railroads.
# Baden I b

The Baden Class I b locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways were built for the pontoon bridges from Heidelberg to Speyer. Altogether three of these engines were on duty, of which two had been taken over from the Palatinate Railway in 1874. A third machine was procured directly from the Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe in 1893.
All three locomotives were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as DRG Class 88.75. Shortly thereafter they were retired, however, as locomotives of the Bavarian Class D VI took over pontoon bridge operations.
This class should not be confused with the earlier class with the same designation which is usually referred to as the Baden I b (old) to distinguish it.
# Bavarian B IV

Bavarian B IVs were early German steam locomotives with the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).
The six engines built by Kessler were trialled with a Kessler boiler. This had a pear-shaped cross section and could therefore be set lower down between the wheels. The same effect was also attempted on the machines from Hartmann by using two boilers: a lower boiler with a small diameter and a larger, upper boiler. After two boiler explosions occurred, all the engines were equipped with normal boilers. All the vehicles had a steam dome in the centre, and the overhanging outer firebox had a flat top on which there was a safety valve and a pump (Fahrpumpe) driven by the crossheads.
They had Bavarian 3 T 5 tenders.
# Bavarian B VII

The Bavarian B VII was an experimental locomotive with the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).
These turf-fired locomotives were the first ones delivered by Krauss to the state railways in Bavaria. They resembled the 0-4-0 vehicles of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg State Railways (Großherzoglich Oldenburgische Staatseisenbahnen). They were equipped with a water tank frame and Allan valve gear with outside cylinders. They were rebuilt once during its short career, the boiler overpressure being changed. The locomotives, known as the Angry Seven (Böse Sieben) by crews, were retired in 1877 after just 9 years in service.
They were equipped with tenders of the Bavarian class 3 T 6.7.

The Bavarian Class A, later B IX were German steam locomotives with the Bavarian Eastern Railway (Bayerische Ostbahn).

## Crampton version

The engines had an external frame with outside drive and valve gear. They had the smallest wheel diameter (1,828 mm) of any locomotive of this type in the whole of Germany. Between 1869 and 1871 all the engines were rebuilt in Regensburg and were given a 1 B axle arrangement. They were then given locomotive numbers 1081–1092.

## Stephenson version

The second series of this class was built to a Stephenson design. They did not differ greatly in terms of boiler and driving gear from the locomotives of the first series. These engines were also converted in Regensburg between 1870 and 1871 to vehicles with a 1B axle formula. In addition the boiler overpressure was raised from 6 to 10 bar. They were then given locomotive numbers 1069–1080.

## Tender

Both series were equipped with 3 T 7 tenders.

# Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau

Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (lit. 'Industrial Association for Vehicle Construction'), usually abbreviated as IFA, was a conglomerate and a union of companies for vehicle construction in the former East Germany.
IFA produced bicycles, motorcycles, light commercial vehicles, automobiles, tractors, vans and heavy trucks. All East German vehicle manufacturers were part of the IFA, including Barkas, EMW (which made Wartburg cars), IWL, MZ, Multicar, Robur, Sachsenring (which made Trabant cars) and Simson.

## Car production

IFA cars were based on pre-war DKW designs and made in the former Horch factory in Zwickau. The F8 had a two-cylinder 684 cc (41.7 cu in) engine, and the F9 had a three-cylinder 804 cc (49.1 cu in) unit. The F8 bodies were straight copies of the pre-war models, and rapidly looked old-fashioned, but some had more modern coachwork by Baur of Stuttgart, then in West Germany. The three cylinder cars (F9) had not got into production before war broke out in 1939, and so had more up to date bodies similar to the West German DKWs. More than 26,000 F8's and 30,000 F9s were built. IWL produced W50 and L60 trucks and Robur light trucks and vans.
The IFA badge was dropped from cars in 1956, and the F8s became Zwickau P70s, and the F9 was rebodied to become the Wartburg and production transferred to Eisenach.

# Bavarian C II

The Bavarian C II was a class of early German steam locomotives operated by the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).

## Articulated variant (Stütztender)

The first C IIs were built experimentally as articulated locomotives. The concept was based on an idea that had been developed by Wilhelm von Engerth (c.f. the Engerth locomotive), whereby the boiler barrel was supported by the tender - sometimes called a Stütztender or 'supported tender'. Because the engines did not ride smoothly however, they were converted in 1870. Initially the Stütztender was removed and, in order to balance out the uneven weight distribution on the axles, the first axle was uncoupled, so that the locomotives had a 1B axle arrangement. When, after a few years, the boiler had to be replaced, it was positioned further forward to enable a better distribution of weight. As a result, the former articulated locomotives were then the same as the standard C II locomotives and became six-coupled again. A total of five were built by Maffei, which were named HERCULES, HECTOR, ACHILLES, AJAX and THESEUS.

## Standard variant

The C II locomotives were needed to handle the growth in goods traffic. The standard variant of the C II series was built as an 0-6-0 engine with a 4-wheeled tender. It was derived from the Bavarian C I class and was given an external locomotive frame, horizontal outside cylinders, an internal Stephenson valve gear and a 'long-necked crank' (Langhalskurbel). The transition from boiler barrel to outer firebox had been tapered so that it could fit between the rear axle. Instead of a driver's cab, these locos were given a weather shield (Wetterschirm), similar to those on present-day motorbikes. Their retirement began in 1891 and was complete by the end of the 1920s. Several examples went as wartime reparations to France and Belgium.
They were equipped with a Bavarian 2 T 9,25 tender.
# RBMG Records

Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG) and currently under the brand name Scooter Braun, is an American record label founded by R&B singer Usher (whose surname is Raymond) and talent manager Scooter Braun in 2008 as a joint venture. The label was initially created for both parties to mutually manage the career and recording catalogue of then-rising teen pop singer Justin Bieber. As of 2025, Bieber remains the only artist to ever sign with the label.
RBMG also has a special profit-sharing business deal with Def Jam Recordings, owned by Universal Music Group.

## History

Raymond and Braun founded RBMG Music in 2008, in conjunction with Island Def Jam, to debut teen singer Justin Bieber. Bieber's debut extended play, My World, was the label's first release. It peaked atop the Billboard 200, and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America by March 2010; it has since received triple platinum certification. The label's second release and Bieber's debut album, My World 2.0, also peaked the Billboard 200, received quadruple platinum certification in the U.S., and was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.
As of 2025, the label has continued to release each of Bieber's studio and remix albums, all of which (excluding My Worlds Acoustic) have debuted atop the Billboard 200.

# Asymptote (magazine)

Asymptote is a Taiwan-based online literary magazine dedicated to translations of world literature, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and drama, mostly to English, but also to other languages. Reviews, interviews, blogs, visual arts and audiovisual materials are also found on the website; issues are released four times a year. As of July, 2018, Asymptote had published work translated from 100 language by writers from 117 different countries. Writers such as Mary Gaitskill, Jose Saramago, J. M. Coetzee, Junot Díaz, Yann Martel, and Mo Yan have appeared in the magazine.
The magazine was established in 2011 by the Taipei-based Singaporean writer Lee Yew Leong, who is the editor-in-chief. Lee said in 2011, "We operate differently from other translation journals in that we don't just sit back and wait for translations to come to us. We actually identify the good work from writers [that haven't yet been introduced to the English-speaking world] and actively seek out translators to help to translate the work for us."
In 2016, Asymptote celebrated its fifth anniversary with public events held in New York, London, Ottawa, and Chicago.

## Awards

In 2015, the magazine received the International Literary Translation Initiative Award, one of a dozen awards given yearly by the London Book Fair.

## Asymptote (1950)

Asymptote - an earlier, but fictional, avant garde literary magazine - features in the A. A. Milne short story A Rattling Good Yarn, published in 1950 in his collection A Table Near the Band. The story is summed up on the dust wrapper as "a hilarious spoof about an extremely popular writer and an avant garde literary critic." Asymptote is the "advanced literary monthly" wherein the two protagonists do battle.
