The Belgian State Railways Type 28 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1864.
Construction history
The locomotives were built from 1864 to 1883 by various Belgian manufacturers, with additionally 9 machines built by Schneider - Le Creusot and 10 machines built by Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe.
The machines used a Belpaire firebox and had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Stephenson valve gear located inside the frame.

Several machines were rebuilt as Type 29, Type 2 and Type 2bis.[3]
