Fleet for Sale

Fleet for Sale -- Between 1961 and 1963, a total of 93 locomotives from the SNCB 51 series were built at the Belgian Cockerill factory. Most of them were probably scrapped, some might find refuge in heritage railways but 33 locomotives are here, in Montzen, and we can assume that many are still operational. These are sturdy machines, and even railway construction companies can find a use for them at this age. -- Montzen, 9 July 2006, 10:48
