The Belgian State Railways Type 25 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1884.^[2]

Construction history

The locomotives were built by various manufacturers from 1884 to 1898.^[2] The machines had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Walschaert valve gear located inside the frame.^[3]

The locomotives used two-axle tenders with 9 m³ (320 cu ft).^[2]
