Editing 2-8-0 (section)

===Belgium===
To compensate for wartime losses, [[National Railway Company of Belgium|Belgian railways]] acquired 300 2-8-0 locomotives in 1946. They were built in North America, 160 by [[Montreal Locomotive Works]] in Canada, 60 by the [[Canadian Locomotive Company]], and 80 by the [[American Locomotive Company]] in the United States. These machines proved to be very reliable and were used for mixed traffic until the end of the steam era, when number 29.013 hauled the last scheduled steam passenger train from [[Ath]] to [[Denderleeuw]] on 20 December 1966.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.treinfoto2000.be/Locomotieven/29.013/40jaar.Einde.stoomtractie/index.htm| title=40 jaar Einde stoomtractie| access-date=2007-12-23| url-status=live| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928185959/http://www.treinfoto2000.be/Locomotieven/29.013/40jaar.Einde.stoomtractie/index.htm| archive-date=2007-09-28}}</ref>

This locomotive survived in preservation and is used on special excursions. On 16 December 2006, number 29.013 re-enacted the last 1966 run on the same route.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.b-rail.be/php/press/index.php?lang=E&task=view&id=1050|title=Herstelde stoomlocomotief type 29 zaterdag terug in België|publisher=NMBS|date=2003-06-11|access-date=2007-02-23|language=nl|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927003333/http://www.b-rail.be/php/press/index.php?lang=E&task=view&id=1050|archive-date=2007-09-27}}</ref>
