The Class CC 65000 diesel locomotives of SNCF were manufactured from 1957 to 1958 by Alsthom, CAFL, and SACM. These engines were mainly assigned to important passenger lines, including Nantes-Tours, Tours-Bordeaux, and Bordeaux-La Rochelle-Nantes.

This locomotive series was phased out between 1981 and 1988. Two examples have been preserved: CC 65001 is exhibited at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse, while CC 65005 is maintained by the Train des Mouettes.
