1990s

The Series 76 shunting locomotives are a fleet of 25 diesel-electric engines initially serving the Dutch Railways (NS) as part of the 2200 series. In the 1990s, these were transferred to the National Railway Company of Belgium (SNCB) for specialised operations, particularly in the construction sites of High-Speed Lines (LGV).

2001

Two locomotives, numbers 7601 and 7615, were severely damaged in an accident on the LGV 2 construction site in January 2001. This incident led to their withdrawal from service, marking the beginning of the series' decommissioning.
