Class 16 Locomotives

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 pushed from these workings by Thalys electric multiple units and now can be found working a few Commuter "P" trains. When built they were classified as type 160.
