Once uniquitious, the nez-cassées are entering now their very twilight and most will be gone within five years and Class BB 7200 and 15000 are to go first, being mono system locos. Class 22200 will eek out a living for a few years more due to their dual-voltage. On 20 September 2023 SNCF 22265 stands at Lille-Flandres with a mundane regional train to Maubeuge.

The SNCF BB 22397 leaves Geneva with its TER 96634 to Grenoble. The use of the once widespread "nez cassé" is declining sharply, so in Geneva I only found this pair of trains from the TER Grenoble-Genève-Grenoble (96605/96634), which runs with a BB 22200. August 20, 2024 
