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been superseded by the Thalys TGVs.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 Liège towards
Brussels meant that heavier trains used to be banked. For many

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. |

2018. |
