Here 5512 stands with one luggage coach at Antwerpen Centraal on 10 October 2026. The 'TVM' by the way was an abbreviation by NMBS/SNCB to note that these locos were assigned to salvage duties and ther have been instances when a 320 km/h capable TGV or Thalys couldn't go further and had to be rescued by one of the TVM Class 55s, capable of maximal 120 km/h.
