NMBS/SNCB class 26s are single voltage freight locomotives.

Unusually for Belgium these locomotives are classified as B-B rather than Bo-Bo, being fitted with Schneider monomotor bogies.

They can be found working the heaviest freight trains in Belgium. They are fitted for multiple working with class 23, and occasionally stray onto their commuter "P" train duties.
