270005 used to be a heavy shunter in the Antwerpen docks area but the massed arrival of the new Reeks 77/78 spelled the doom for NMBS classes 70, 71, 73, 74, 75, 76 (ex-NS Class 2200), 80, 82, 83, 84 and 85 -of which Classes 70, 71, 74 and 75 were strictle limited to opearions in Antwerp. Saint-Ghislain is on the other end of Belgium and houses TSP/PTF, who on 12 september 2004 used 270005 for cab-driving.
