InfraBel owns 5512 since 2025 and puts the loco to good use by hauling museum stock from Train World Schaerbeek and other railway heritage operators when the occasion arises -like bringingan exhibition train for the centenary of the NMBS. 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.
