The SNCF Class BB 9200 1500 V DC electric locomotives were built by Schneider-Jeumont/CEM between 1958-1964.

In the late sixties, a small group of locomotives was converted for 200 km/h (120 mph) operation, hauling prestige TEE trains like the Capitole - these locomotives were called the BB 9200 Capitole.

[2] The BB 9200 Capitole was a variant of the SNCF Class BB 9200 locomotive specially constructed for operating high speed trains running at speeds greater than 160 km/h or 99 mph).

From 1967 to 1970 the SNCF started the high speed service with the Capitole between Paris and Toulouse.

Models of the BB 9200 rouges with their Capitol plates were produced by Märklin, Lima, Jouef and Roco.
