When I lived in #Belgium in the early 2000s, I regularly participated in the railtours organised by the Belgian railfan association #PFT #TSP. The photos posted here date back to 2009. They were taken on the occasion of a trip to #Oostende, #Zeebrugge and #Brugge. We travelled on board these Class 44 and 45 railcars.

This is literally promoting Hitler-lite thinking at a philosopher promo. Wake up. #ProtectDemocracy #PFT

A picture taken along a single-track line in rural #Belgium 🇧🇪 in June 2004: this was actually a “photostop” of a charter train for railfans, organised by the Belgian rail enthusiasts association #PFT #TSP, to say farewell to #SNCB #NMBS Classes 22 and 25 electric locomotives.

The Belgian association #PFT #TSP used to organise, and probably still organises, railfan specials that included a number of photo stops en route. On this picture, taken in the #Gent 🇧🇪 area in May 2008, we see such a charter train hauled by two “round nosed” #AFB #Nohab diesels.

The beautiful train station of #Binche 🇧🇪 in June 2004: photo taken on the occasion of a railfan event, organised by the Belgian rail enthusiasts association #PFT #TSP, to say farewell to #SNCB #NMBS Classes 22 and 25. This is the day’s charter train with two Class 22 electrics leading.

What could be a scene on a rural #SNCB #NMBS 🇧🇪 Belgian railway line of the 1980s, is actually a picture taken on the occasion of a railfan event in August 2005: railcar 4403 crosses a bridge of the Chemin de Fer du Bocq museum line, operated by the #PFT #TSP enthusiasts group.

A picture taken at #Binche 🇧🇪 in June 2004, on the occasion of a railfan event organised by the Belgian train enthusiasts association #PFT #TSP: on the right, the “farewell to #SNCB #NMBS Class 25 (and 22)” charter train and on the left a type #AM75 unit, working an hourly regional service.
