HLE 11 (BeNeLux)
HLE 11 (BeNeLux)
The SNCB Class 11 locomotives were built in the 1980s for hauling the Benelux trains between Brussels, Belgium, and Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
They operated in the push-pull mode – remotely controlled from a leading driving trailer when at the rear of the train.
They are numbered 1181-1192 to avoid clashing with NS Class 1100 locos that were still in use at that time.
The Dutch Class 11 was originally numbered from 1101 to 1160. In 2009 they were replaced on the Benelux trains by Bombardier TRAXX locomotives which had been leased from Angel (now Alpha) trains.
When Class 11 locomotives were replaced on international services, they were moved to peak hour services within Belgium for the rest of their working lives before retirement.
They are painted to match the Nederland Spoorwegen (Dutch Railways) coaching stock they used to work with.
