Summary[edit]

Description
English: 29.013 Steamer of the Belgian National Railway Company (SNCB-NMBS). The 300 locs of Class 29 were ordered at ALCo (USA) and Montreal Locomotive Works (Canada) after WW2 (1945). As Diesel and electric locs were ordered quickly afterwards and Class 29 retired in 1966. 29.013 has then hauled the very last commercial steam train in Belgium. It was then used to haul touristic specials until 1996, when major problems to the boiler were detected. The loc was send to the german steam workshop of Meiningen where the boiler was replaced by a slightly different german one. 29.013 is again since 2003 the only heritage loc in workign order at the belgian railways. (note : photo taken during a steam festival on Bocq heritage railway. The second loc is PFT's 64.169. A third loc is also pushing the train)
Français : La locomotive à vapeur 29.013 de la Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges (SNCB). Les 300 locomotives de la classe 29 ont été commandées à l'industrie nord-américaine (American Locomotive Works - USA et Montreal Locomotive Works - Canada) après al seconde guerre mondiale en 1945. Leur carrière fut fort courte car la traction diesel et électrique se développera rapidement par la suite. Le retrait du service intervient dès 1967, alors que la 29.013 sera la dernière à tirer un convoi à la SNCB en trafic commercial en 1966. Elle devint alors l'une des locomotives de l'offre touristique de la SNCB jusqu'en 1996, lorsque de sérieux problèmes de chaudière l'empêcherent de tracter le train commémoratif du 30° anniversaire de la fin de la vapeur. Malgré des budgets extrêmement faibles, la division patrimoine de la SNCB enverra la machine aux ateliers vapeur de Meiningen (en Allemagne) ou il fut finalement décidé de remplacer sa chaudière par un exemplaire allemand disponible, mais légèrement différent. La 29.013 est à nouveau disponible pour le trafic touristique depuis 2003, et la seule en état de marche. (note : la photo est prise lors d'un festival vapeur sur le Chemin de fer du Bocq. Derrière la 29.013 se trouve la 64.169 du PFT. La rame est également poussée par une troisième machine).
