text: # SNCF Class BB 325
  
  The SNCF Class BB 325 was a class of 25 electric locomotives built between 1946 and 1948. The class was a development of the pre-war Midi Class E4700 and very similar to the Class BB 300. As delivered they were numbered 0325–0355. Under the 1950 renumbering scheme they became BB 325–BB 355.
  
  In 1967 the cab end doors were removed. Between 1977 and 1987, the class was rebuilt as shunters with the top speed reduced to 75 km/h (47 mph). The class was withdrawn in 1997.
