The SNCB Class 28 number series has been brought back into use for 43 Bombardier TRAXX locomotives which have been hired from Angel Trains Cargo for use with B-Cargo, the freight division of NMBS/SNCB.[1] They are numbered in two series - they carry their original numbers, E186 123 to E186 125, and E186 196 to E186 220, and have also been numbered into the SNCB number series, 2801 to 2843.[1]

It was planned that they would work passenger services between Brecht and Antwerp,[1] but so far, this has been done by SNCB Class 13 locos. Therefore, their primary use remains the heavy freight corridor between Aachen-West, Antwerp, and Zeebrugge.

The original SNCB Class 28 locomotives were produced by Baume-Marpent in 1949.

Class 29

5 TRAXX F140 MS locomotives especially prepared for operations into France were numbered 2901 to 2905.

  • 2901 ex E 186 346-3
  • 2902 ex E 186 347-1 (now with Fret SNCF)[2]
  • 2903 ex E 186 348-9
  • 2904 ex E 186 349-7
  • 2905 ex E 186 350-5

2861 & 2862

During 2015 two additional TRAXX F140 MS locomotives were hired by SNCB and numbered as 2861 & 2862.

  • 2861 ex E 186 183-0[3]
  • 2862 ex E 186 181-4[4]

They have been joined by E 186 424,[5] covering for locomotives away for maintenance.
