    The class 51 is a popular locomotive class with railfans, if not with drivers! They are a tad unreliable, and sadly are now rapidly being phased out.

    Here is one at Merelbeke station with one of the few remaining passenger turns a few years ago.

    Another 51 outside the depot at Antwerpen Dam, now closed. A new depot has been built as this area is needed for a new rail line.

    Very sad, they have a throaty powerful sound and rugged looks. They will be missed. :(
