On 10 May 2008 the Belgium TSP society used NMBS 5404 and TSP 202.020 to say farewell to the Gent Zeehaven - Moerbeke line 204.
Here the excursion train comes back from Moerbeke and is seen just before the junction with the Gent Zeehaven - Zelzate line.
This part of the line will probably be closed immediately after passage of this train.

In 1984 I started taking pictures of trains in the Netherlands. In more recent years I grew fond of the bulldog nose GM locomotives for which topic I still travel around the world.
On my pages I will show you some themes with a strong accent on the GM bulldog nose units.
What you also can find in the themes section are montly photo galleries of my most recent taken pictures and the koalas site of my girlfriend Henrike. Of course, both our hobbies (round noses) cross each other in Australia and some other countries.

Below you find two pictures of me in action during setting up the Dutch private railway companies Lovers Rail (now part of Veolia Transport), ShortLines (now part of Rail4Chem) and ERS Railways (now fully Maersk owned):

Lovers Rail test train at IJmuiden in July 1996

ShortLines test train at Rotterdam Europoort P&O/NSF terminal in July 1998

ERS Railways locomotive before start-up at Rotterdam Waalhaven Zuid on 18 September 2002



And these are the countries which I have visited so far (5 February 2006, 19% of all countries on our planet):
