The SNCF Class CC 65000 diesel locomotives were built by Alsthom, CAFL and SACM between 1957 and 1958. They were most often used in the triangle Nantes-Tours, Tours-Bordeaux and Bordeaux-La Rochelle-Nantes.

The series was withdrawn from service between 1981 and 1988 but two examples were preserved: CC 65001 at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse and CC 65005 by the Train des Mouettes.
