four 414hp BB centre cab diesels in the early 1960s. BB 405 was
delivered new to Corsica in 1966. Of the other three, one went
to the Vivarais and two to the PO Lignes de Correze. These three
examples later became CP 401-403 in Provence. and 403 moved to Corsica in 1974 becoming their
404. 1973-built BB 406 arrived in 1995, after conversion from
standard gauge, and is more powerful at 600hp.
