Class 15 locos were original used for cross border services into France and Netherlands, and like the class 16 they have become surplus after the introduction of Thalys and Class 11s. They now earn their keep on a few Commuter "P" trains in the Liège area.
Before the January 1, 1971 renumbering, they were known in the six-number scheme as Type 150.
