Great video! Nice to see class 55 is still used on this line. I was thinking of going to Gemmenich/Reinartzkehl too this Saturday but finally I didn't because I was afraid of only seeing class 28.

hello, Thanks!
I think the last cabooses (sort of) were in the 1950s, but not very common in Eurpoe.
train movements are normally controlled electronically from interlocking towers, if that´s what you mean.

thanks! These two locos were the only 55s I saw. But the 28´s are indeed getting boring very fast if it´s the only stuff you see there ...

If you realy like Belgian trains, you should visit dendermonde. Great variaty of freight trains and commuter trains, from national and international entreprises like NMBS, SNCF, Crossrail and ECR. It's not a spot paradise but certainly very interesting. Keep up the good videos, grtz Vito
