The Francorail-MTE CSE26-21 is a class of
diesel-electric
locomotives built in
France by the
GIE Francorail-MTE consortium between 1981 and 1985.
[1] The
bogies were made by
Creusot-Loire, electric equipment and traction motors by
Société MTE, while the bodies were made by
Carel et Fouché. They were fitted with
American-made
ALCO 16-251F engines of 3600 hp (2650 kW), and final assembly was performed by Carel-Fouché.

The launch customer was the
Korean State Railway of
North Korea, which bought seven units in 1981, and a further five in 1985.

[2] Subsequently, the
Kim Chong-t'ae Electric Locomotive Works developed electric locomotives (the
Ch'ŏngnyŏnjŏl Kinyom and the
Red Flag 5400 classes) on the basis of the French-made units.
[2] The bulk of production, was for the
Iraqi Republic Railways, who received 72 units numbered in the series DEM 4001 - 4011 and DEM 4101 - 4161
[3] from 1982. The
Saudi Railways Organization received six locomotives of the type in 1983, numbered 3603 through 3608.
