The class 16 locomotives were built to work cross border services from Belgium.They are equipped to run in France, Netherlands and Germany.They have been displaced from these workings by Thalys electric multiple units and ended up working a few peak hour commuter trains until 2007 when they were withdrawn with two of them saved for preservation.
To cater for the large number of commuter workers, especially into Brussels, complementary peak-hours trains run on mornings and late afternoons of working days, they are classified as P trains. The Brussels S Train service was added in December 2015 and took over a good deal of the L trains.
