In the early 1990s, the SNCF needed used diesel-electric locomotives for the construction of new high-speed lines. As a result, 44 used 2400s were purchased from the Dutch State Railways. The purchase contract included an overhaul by the workshop in Tilburg. The use of two locomotives at each end of the trains ensured sufficient tractive and pushing power to travel the gradients on the new line with the desired train weight. In the SNCF's numbering system, the 2400s were categorised in the 60000-70000 number series. The 62400s were soon nicknamed "Hollandaises" by the French railwaymen.
