"Orientexpress"

"Orientexpress"
It's a strange story about this abandoned train, rotting on a siding track in Leuven, east of Brussels. An urban explorer posted images of this train a time ago and called it "Orientexpress". Another photographer took this story for real and posted a very detailed description and history of the real Orientexpress and so on. Today you can find numerous misleading stories. But actually it was not the Orientexpress, but a luxurious and a very intersting diesel train built in 1936 and we were happy to explore it especially inside, before it disappears. In fact, it's a Type 654 DMU (diesel multiple unit) of the Belgian Railways (NMBS/SNCB). Those trains were once the pride of Belgium railways, but today this is the only one left.

Na ich weiß, manchmal ist das auch schwierig, wenn sich innerhalb einer Baureihe Details ändern, oder sich der Prototyp von der späteren Serie vielleicht deutlich unterscheidet. Beim "Fliegenden Hamburger" hat es auch Veränderungen gegeben.

Even if it is not the Orient Express, a romantic tale full of intrigue and suspense is what I see coming from the story within the photo.

Der gehört eigentlich in ein Museum, schad das er verrotet, auch wenn du auch diesem Zustand fotografisch sehr wohl das beste abringen kannst.

Da hast Du völlig recht, ist mir auch unklar, was da schief gelaufen ist!
