Class 25.5 locomotives

In 1973 a programme to modify 8 class 25 locos to work into the Netherlands was undertaken. This included fitting of 1500 V electrical equipment and various safety modifications. These locos are now classified as class 25.5.

They can be found working cross-border freight in the Antwerp area.
