CFL's Class 3000 electric locomotives are identical to NMBS/SNCB class 13s. They share the work on the Brussels - Luxembourg services, and exclusively work the Liège - Luxembourg trains. They are also used on freight services between Luxembourg and France/Belgium making use of their AC capabilities.
