ARBED-Esch 0-6-0 Locomotives in Luxemburg
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class unknown (Locobase 5023)
[
] offers a table of locomotives preserved by the Luxembourg group "Train 1900". Among them is this standard O&K(works # 5457) that, other than its larger cylinders, is virtually identical to two other 0-6-0 tanks produced by this company in the same year and described in Locobase in Spanish (North African) and Uruguayan service. 5457 first went into service in Esch. It was acquired by the Train 1900 group in 1977.
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.
