Class 23 locomotives were part of the 1950s generation of SNCB electric locomotives that included Types 122 (later 22), 123 (later 23), 125, (later 25 and 25.5) and 140 (later 25 and 25.5) built between 1953 and 1961. There were 50 Series 122, 83 Series 123, 16 Series 125 and 6 Series 140 for a total of 155. They were seen across Belgium on passenger and freight trains until they were retired in 2012. Class 23 was later fitted for multiple working, and were often found in pairs. There was no difference in power between the classes as they all used the same traction motors and control equipment.

  • Class 23 locomotives were part of the 1950s generation of SNCB electric locomotives that included Types 122 (later 22), 123 (later 23), 125, (later 25 and 25.5) and 140 (later 25 and 25.5) built between 1953 and 1961. There were 50 Series 122, 83 Series 123, 16 Series 125 and 6 Series 140 for a total of 155. They were seen across Belgium on passenger and freight trains until they were retired in 2012. Class 23 was later fitted for multiple working, and were often found in pairs. There was no difference in power between the classes as they all used the same traction motors and control equipment. The 23s differed from the 22s in three ways. The most visible was the ventilation grilles. Those on the Type 122 were mounted on the roof and sometimes had problems with water ingestion. This was corrected by having three grilles mounted low on each side. Six of the 23s (2306-2313-2317-2320-2321-2331) later received an extra vent on one side only, just above the existing central one. The next was additional weight was added to the chassis to increase tractive effort. The third was the 23s had regenerative braking. The reason for these differences was to let them pull heavy freight trains on the line Brussels-Luxembourg. Loco 123.083 became 124.001 in 1968 and 2401 in 1971. It received a streamlined shroud at one end only that fit over the existing bodywork. It had its own windshield, wipers, washers and headlights. It also was given the ACEC Type G transmission system with a different gear ratio to test. Another change was that the traction motors were completely suspended rather than being just nose suspended. This was all a development stage for what was to have been a four voltage electric loco of 7,000 hp (5,200 kW). As time went on the four voltage requirement was dropped and the actual production locomotive became the Class 20, introduced late in 1975. 124.001/2401 made a number of test runs between Landegem and Aalter at speeds up to 200 km/h (124 mph). It was converted back to standard and renumbered to 2383 during 1974. It ran in regular freight and passenger services and became "The Banker of Liège" when it became the normal loco for pushing passenger trains up the steep ramp leading from Liège-Guillemins up to Ans. Loco 2302 was given ventilation grilles like those on Classes 11-12-21-27 as a test. These were mounted high on each side. The original openings were blanked in and each fitted with a porthole. No other Class 23s ever had these. 2302 retained this arrangement until the end of its service life. The arrival of the new Class 18 locomotives in early 2012 marked the end of the class, during the Spring of 2012 all were withdrawn except a few for banking duties at Liège-Guillemins but even those were soon withdrawn, replaced by Class 77 diesels. Before 1 January 1971 the locomotives were numbered 123.001-123.083 but from this date the class became 2301-2382. See the above history of 123.083 for detailed information on this loco. 2383 (ex 2401, 124.001, 123.083) is preserved by the SNCB. (en)

  • De HLE 23, ook wel "Duikboot" genoemd, was een type elektrische locomotief van de NMBS dat werd ingezet sinds 1955. Van deze reeks werden er in totaal 83 exemplaren gebouwd. Deze locomotieven mochten maximaal 130 km/h rijden. Ze waren bedoeld voor internationale treinen en piekuurtreinen tussen Brussel en Luxemburg. Op deze lijn komen vrij veel hellingen en bochten voor. Hiervoor was het nodig om een locomotief te bouwen die voor deze lijn geschikt was en eveneens in de gemengde dienst kon gebruikt worden. De locomotieven reden met K-rijtuigen, M1-, M2- en M4-rijtuigen, maar ook I-rijtuigen. In de goederendienst sleepten ze zowel allerhande bloktreinen als gemengde goederentreinen. Ze werden bij levering genummerd van 123.001 tot en met 123.083. Het belangrijkste verschil met de HLE 22, die hetzelfde vermogen had, was de mogelijkheid de tractiemotoren om te schakelen naar generator, zo kon afgeremd worden bij afdalen van hellingen door stroom terug te sturen naar de bovenleiding. Deze recuperatie-installatie zorgde voor een extra gewicht van 5 ton (92 ton) tegenover de HLE 22 (87 ton), wat ten goede kwam aan de adhesie. Bij deze reeks werden meer verbouwingen uitgevoerd dan bij reeks 22. Ze werden allemaal geleverd met spaakwielen, die in de loop der jaren vervangen werden door gesloten wielen. Ze konden in treinschakeling (multiple) rijden met zowel locomotieven van deze reeks als locomotieven van reeks 26. Gezien hun hoge leeftijd was er al lang sprake van om deze locomotieven uit dienst te nemen. Een gebrek aan vervangend nieuw materieel verhinderde dit lange tijd. In de zomer van 2010 berichtte de NMBS dat deze locomotiefreeks in december van datzelfde jaar definitief buiten dienst zou komen. Toen de nieuwe diensten beschikbaar werden was van dit voornemen echter geen sprake meer: de HLE 23 bleef in dienst voor de piekuurtreinen. (nl)
