Note: The loco in the image is not a CC72100. The similarly numbered BB7200s look like the loco in the thumbnail but they are 1.5 kV only. So the likely version is the classmate of the BB7200, the BB22000 bi-current version.

You are incorrect on two counts. It is a CC72100, that’s why it is numbered 72121 (ignore the first digit as that’s the sector allocation code). The dual voltage version of the DC only BB7200 is BB22200; the AC version is BB15000 (7200+15000=22200).

Hang on...I was looking at the photo wrongly... Some form of blindness, my apologies.

I think the initial digit also confuses some people, being that it reads 172121 in the video thumbnail, but the first digit relates to sector allocation not class.

If it were a 7200 would start 10 so if loco 7201 would've been 107201 (if an intercity loco as 1 was intercity, I believe)

Absolutely correct.

I realise, it was complete blindness of the roof on my part.

1 is SNCF Voyages, so long-distance in effect

No problem, we all do it!
