NMBS/SNCB (Dutch: Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen,[1] French: Société nationale des chemins de fer belges, German: Nationale Gesellschaft der Belgischen Eisenbahnen) is the national railway company of Belgium. The company formally styles itself using the Dutch and French abbreviations NMBS/SNCB,[2] however it is commonly referred to in English[3][4] and internationally[5][6][7][8] using just the French abbreviation SNCB. The corporate logo designed in 1936 by Henry van de Velde consists of the linguistically neutral letter B in a horizontal oval.
