they are slow and big/
'''[[National Railway Company of Belgium|NMBS/SNCB]] class 26s''' are single voltage freight locomotives.

Unusually for [[Belgium]] these locomotives are classified as [[B-B]] rather than [[Bo-Bo]], being fitted with Schneider monomotor [[bogie]]s.

They can be found working the heaviest freight trains in Belgium. They are fitted for [[multiple working]] with [[SNCB Class 23|class 23]], and occasionally stray onto their commuter "P" train duties.
