Rebuilding

The original MGO V16BSHR engines were replaced with MTU 12V 4000 R41 units. The re-engineering of the BB 69400 was an opportunity to review the ergonomics of the driving stations with the integration of standardized equipment and soundproofing of the cabin. Cabin air conditioning was installed utilising a 7.80 kW Soprano unit.

Livery

In addition to the Fret livery worn by these locomotives since their conversion, the BB 69400 allocated to the infrastructure sector, Infra, since 2015, have been repainted in the latter's yellow and grey livery.[4]
