On 5, 6 and 7 July 2006 NMBS-SNCB organised special trips with steam locomotive 29.013, on which new drivers were trained and to keep the locomotive in a good condition after its restoration in 2003 at the DB Meiningen workshops.Starting and end point was Vilvoorde station, passing by Leuven where one could visit the railroadmuseum, which can not be visited during normal service.

During the return trip, we were overtaken by NMBS-SNCB AM96 sets 534 and 563, probably assuring a Genk/Liège-Knokke service with sets joining at Landen and dividing at Brugge.
