The JT 42BW is a class of four axle Bo'Bo' diesel electric locomotives manufactured by Alstom's (previously by Vossloh and now by Stadler.{{Cite web |title=FUNET Railway Photography Archive: Israel |url=https://www.nic.funet.fi/index/pics/railways/Israel/index.html |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=www.nic.funet.fi}}) Meinfesa plant in Spain for Israel Railways (IR). The locomotives were the primary passenger locomotive unit used by IR through the 2000s.

The locomotives are of the Prima type, produced at Alstom's plant in Valencia, Spain in collaboration with GM-EMD; the locomotives use EMD traction equipment and an EMD 710 engine.Sources:

The locomotives were ordered in several batches between 1996 and 2006, the second batch of ten units allowed the 6 axle JT 42CW freight locomotives to return to their intended duties after they were transferred to passenger work due to lack of locomotives.{{citation| url = http://www.css-rzd.ru/zdm/12-2000/00178-1.htm| archive-url = https://archive.today/20120728122525/http://www.css-rzd.ru/zdm/12-2000/00178-1.htm| url-status = dead| archive-date = 2012-07-28| script-title = ru:Рельсовый транспорт Израиля| language = Russian| journal = Железные Дороги Мира| number = 12| year = 2000}}
