Série 1960 are a class of diesel-electric locomotives built for Portuguese Railways (CP).

The locomotives were purchased for use on the steeply-graded Beira Alta line [pt], with heavily loaded international services from Lisbon to Spain and France, including the "Sud Express".

On 11 September 1985, locomotive 1961 was destroyed in an accident near Alcafache whilst operating the Lisbon-Paris international service.

The Beira Alta line was electrified in 1996 and the Série 1960 locomotives were reassigned to freight duties.

[2] The remaining locomotives are expected to be withdrawn during 2012, with high fuel consumption being a contributing factor.
