SŽ series 363

The SŽ series 363 is a class of 3 kV DC electric locomotives operated by Slovenian Railways, built from 1975 to 1977 by the French manufacturer Alstom. They have a typically Alsthom C'C' wheel arrangement with monomotor bogies, and share their Nez Cassé body design with SNCF Class CC 6500 and NS Class 1600, with their electrical system adapted for the Italian-developed 3 kV DC catenary. Their distinctive French styled bodywork led to the nickname Brižita, after the French actress Brigitte Bardot. Most of the locomotives bear the standard red and white livery of SŽ, but 363-005 has been repainted back into the original mustard yellow, brown and green colour scheme.
