On 22 May 2019 NMBS/InfraBel 6295 thunders through Lier. The less-than-ideal outlok of these sturdy Diesels was much improved when InfraBel decided to deploy her phtalo blue colours on the locos. 

On 19 September 2004, old liveried NMBS 6244 runs light through Kortrijk. The dot before the number denotes that the engine is in service, but no longer has the steam heating equipment that these locos were delivered with. 
