Two hours after having arrived at Treignes, AD05 stands ready with another steam shuttle to mariembourg on 21 September 2019.

Every hour, a steam shuttle enters Treignes during the Weekend-a-Vapeur (3rd weekend of September) and AD05 hauls one into Treignes on 21 September 2019. One is curious of the 50th anniversary of the CFV3V in September 2023!

The very last NMBS/SNCB steam loco in normal service was 29.013 in 1966, one of about 280 1D US engines.

Lineas 7866 kindly requests the viewers to check-out the modal-shift at Venlo on 23 March 2019.

CFC/NMBS/CFV3V 5538 stands on 23 September 2023 in Treignes. The railways of Congo (Chemins de Fer du Congo) tried to buy three ex-SNCB Class 55s, but the deal fell through due to another civil war in that African country. The NMBS/SNCB was and is phasing out Class 55 rapidly and the 5538, which was to be opne of the Congolese locos, ended with the CFV3V that uses the loco on Diesel days and for some shunting duties. Since there are plans to give the loco a repaint back to original colours, anyone willing to photograph a quasi-Congolese Diesel in the Belgian Ardennes is advised not to wait for too long 

A little joke on the part of CFV3V, seen on 22 September 2023 at Mariembourg: Class 90 never had the latest NMBS/SNCB colours in grey with yellow and blue accents; neither did Class 91, but that ios no reason at all for CFV3V not to put 9011 in the latest national colours. 

Ftormer SNCB 9008 stands in the shed of the CFV 3V at Mariembourg on 22 September 2023. Class 90 is the firsat version of Class 91: in the 1970s SNCB decided to rebuild Class 90s into Class 91 shunters. 
