Belgium (F/D/L) - 2018

A trip through Belgium mainly, but also with short sidesteps to Germany, France and Luxembourg. We visited some abandoned industrial places, some historical sites, mines and so on. The journey will be described in reversed order, beginning in Calais and ending in Germany.

inside the 654 train - the 8-cylinder diesel engine and the tanks were just behind the train driver! Must have been quite hot in the summer.

I think the diesel tanks above made a strange feeling..... There was a cockpit with an 8 cylinder engine on each end of the train (2 x 365 PS).

....searchin' for his seat 15. This is the end of the 654-train-series (built 1936) and my private favorite ;-)) - see PiP for red passenger!
