SNCF's BB 8500 class are part of a series of electric locomotives built by Alsthom. They are the DC version of the AC BB 17000 and dual system BB 25500. The are fitted with monomotor bogies with two different gear ratios. This allows them to increase their tractive effort in exchange for a reduction their top speed. This makes them suitable for both freight and passenger trains. They acquired the nick name "Danseuses" due to their tendency to sway from side to side at speed. This tendency lead to them being "blacked" at a number of depots.cite book

They were built a three distinct batches leading to detail differences. They remain in use as mixed traffic locomotives, mostly with TER and but with some remaining for special duties. 30 locomotives, dedicated to empty stock moves, have been reclassified as BB 88500. Likewise in 2001, 20 of the class were dedicated for workings on the Ligne de la Maurienne. They were classified BB 8700 for this period.
