The NMBS (
Dutch: Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen) or SNCB (
French: Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges, not to be confused with France's
SNCF) is the
Belgian national
railway operator. It was created in
1926. The NMBS/SNCB is an autonomous government company. In
2005, the company was split up into three parts:
Infrabel, which manages the railway infrastructure, network operations and network access, the public railway operator NMBS/SNCB itself to manage the freight and passenger services, and NMBS/SNCB-Holding, which owns both public companies and supervises the collaboration between them. Essentially, this was a move to facilitate future
liberalisation of railway freight and passenger services in agreement with European regulations. Several freight operators have since received access permissions for the Belgian network.
