Report - Orient Express - Belgium - March 2014

[TrevBish]

In a live train yard, somewhere in Belgium, sits this train. Left to rot and get claimed back by mother nature. From the outside, a rotted and rusted shell. In the inside a beautiful derelict train carriage.

Thanks For Looking!

Great photos! Trying to work out what she is, the driver's position is just forward of a diesel engine, the 'torpedo' shaped front and the three windows suggests something styled in the 20's or 30's. All I can find is an SNCB Type 652 diesel-electric railcar or the later Type 655 which was retired in 1965. Shame she has been left to rot.

'The Orient Express' is a train graveyard close to the train station in Leuven. It was an old shunting track full with rusty trains.
