1804 at Brussels Midi, at the head
of the 15.04 "Watteau" Trans-European Express service
to Paris on 2 December 1994. These distinctively-styled locomotives,
together with the stainless-steel-bodied TEE coaches, have now
been superseded by the "Thalys" TGVs. |

The steep gradient on the main
line out of Ličge towards Brussels means that heavier
trains are banked. For many years 2383 was the regular banking
locomotive, and it is seen here giving a shove to the 07.03 Köln
- Oostende service on 28 March 1987. |

5201 at Dinant, on the 07.09 Braine-le-Compte
to Virton, on 4 May 1989. |
