On 6 May 2023 TOM, a.k.a. Tata Steel 22 has arrived at Eeklo with her steam shuttle from Maldegem. Due to environmental controversies concerning the Tata steel plant at IJmuiden, the steel giant decided against further steam excursions on her terrain and planted Loco 22 with the SCM in Belgium and four-axle loco 57 'BONNE' at the Miljoenenlijn/ZLSM in the very southern tip of the Netherlands. 
