ARBED-Belval 0-4-0 Locomotives in Luxemburg
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Meiderich (Locobase 5026)
[
] offers a table of locomotives preserved by the Luxembourg group "Train 1900". Works # 2609 was acquired by the ARBED facility at Belval in the same year as its 6-coupled tank stablemate (Locobase 5024). Train 1900 added this engine in 1982.
ARBED (AciTries RTunies de Burbach-Eich-Dudelange) was the umbrella acronym for a series of steel works railroads in Luxembourg that were amalgamated in 1911. See [] for details.
