SNCB Class 22 Locomotives are run by the National Railway Company of Belgium, also known as Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen (or NMBS, Dutch) or Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges (or SNCB, French), the Belgian national railway operator. The locomotives are electric powered.
The class was withdrawn in 2009, their last working duties included Commuter "P" trains, and banking duties at Liège. They were originally designated as series 122 prior to introduction of the 1971 numbering system.
2201 has survived into preservation.
