In 1973 a programme to modify 8 class 25 locos to work into the Netherlands was undertaken, to use them in push-pull trains operating on the Benelux intercity service between Amsterdam and Brussels. This included fitting of 1500 V electrical equipment and various safety modifications. These locos are now classified as class 25.5.
In 1986 they were replaced by the newly build SNCB Class 11, from that year the class 25.5 was used in cross-border freight services in the Antwerp area until they were retired in 2009.
