5404.jpg (55665 bytes)

Unit 5404 is the only Belgian NOHAB unit in the original state, that is still active. The unit is predestinated to end in a museum, but because of shortage of diesel units, it is still in use for haulage of freighttrains in the south of Belgium. Occasionally, the unit is used for haulage of special trains, which is the case here, as you see the unit here with a special train in Duffel station on june 2, 1996. At that date the new Thalys trainsets started official duty, and replaced the hauled international trains in Belgium.

SNCB - Voici l'état pitoyable dans lequel se trouvait la locomotive historique 204.004 de la SNCB en août 2000, cachée (c'est le mot !) dans le dépôt de Gouvy.

NMBS - Hier ist wat de NMBS met zijn historische locomotieven doet ! De 204.004 in een medelijdende staat, verbergen in de remise van Gouvy (augustus 2000).

SNCB - Hier ist die Museumlok (ja ! ja !) 204.004 in Gouvy (August 2000). Wir können sagen daß die nicht in gutem Zustand ist !

nmbs5404.jpg (125912 bytes)

This picture shows the last EuroCity train "Etoile du Nord" just south of Dordrecht in The Netherlands. The locomotive is a Belgian museum locomotive with the number 204.004, which was built in 1955 after a NOHAB design.
The coaches are old TEE stainless steel INOX coaches of the French and Belgian railways.

The day after the photo was taken (1 June 1996) all locomotive-hauled trains between Amsterdam and Paris were replaced by Thalys high-speed trainsets. The coaches will now probably be used for the trains between Liège/Luik and Paris, or even between Frankfurt/M and Paris.
