DispositionDisposal/Preservation

Class 3600 are a group of electric locomotives that were operated by Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL). They were built to the design of the French BB 12000 class.

These locomotives have lost their duties to the newer class 4000s. Examples are still to be found dumped in yards awaiting their final trip for disposal. Two have been saved:

  • 3602 Bahnpark museum Augsburg, Germany
  • 3608 Esch sur Alzette
