Wonderful!! Good to see (and hear) the 55's. A long time since I saw these and many other types during the ADL Belgian Depot Tours. Great times.

Excellent video footage!

Some very nice sounds. Are they EMD 567 engines in those Belgian locos?

Thanks for your interest. The Class 55s are upgraded relatives of Bo Bo Class 62s. The Luxembourg versions of the Class 55 fall under the category of Class 1800. Nonetheless, Class

55s are powered by General Motors V16 two-stroke diesel engines with electric transmission on all six axles. Unfortunately, due to completed electrification over Montzen Viaduct and other sections of the main freight line from Germany to Belgium, deployment

of Class 55s has become thin on a major scale - PITY !
