Credit to Iain Dobson on Benelux Railways Gen is that 1342 caught fire on Wednesday at Beatrix. This is the third fire on a loco of the class in recent times following those on 1308 and 1315.

The identical Luxembourg (CFL) owned 3000s have been similarly afflicted with 3001 written off when almost new and 3012 also now withdrawn. Both from fire damage.
They've been an unlucky design: of the 80 built three have so far been written off with fire damage and four (1305/09/18/30) with major collision damage.
