The SNCB Class 62 is a SNCB diesel locomotive.

These diesels can be found all over Belgium. 5 have been sold on to ACTS in the Netherlands by SNCB.

Four units (6225, 6227, 6313 and 6324) are outfitted with TBL2 signaling and a Scharfenberg coupler. This is for hauling broken-down or unpowered TGVs on line 2. They display the letters "TBL2" on the nose.
