NMBS/SNCB is an autonomous government company, formed in 1926 as successor to the Belgian State Railways. From 1942 to 1944, amid Nazi Germany's occupation of Belgium, the company was paid 51 million Belgian francs by the Nazi Germany to send 28 trains carrying 25,843 Jews and Roma people to Auschwitz where only 1,195 survived.

NMBS/SNCB Class 41 DMUs are diesel multiple-unit trains operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB). They are the standard train for Belgian internal workings which cannot be worked by EMUs. They work under the 25 kV electrification in the South of Belgium as well as on the non-electrified lines in the North.
In 2014, NMBS/SNCB decided to stop the first half of Class 21 (2101-2130). Part of this was because they had too many electric locomotives and part of it was because there was a need for otherwise unobtainable spare parts to keep Class 27 in service.
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.
The SNCB Class 55 is a NMBS/SNCB diesel locomotive. Six of these locomotives (5501, 5506, 5509, 5511, 5512 and 5514) are outfitted with TVM 430 signaling and a Scharfenberg coupler. This is for hauling broken-down or unpowered TGVs on line 1. They display a horizontal red band and the letters "TVM".
