Description

Type 12 Atlantic (12004) from 1939 only six of those where built by Cockerill in Seraing. This is the only survivor. They where in service for 23 years. Legend says that this one was saved because some railwaymen took her from the convoy on her way to the breakers and hid her. They were used for the express Brussels - Ostende (124 km in 58 minutes today the train is slower, but now there are two extra stops). They where stationed at Schaarbeek station, so she's back home. Type 12 Atlantic (12004) de 1939, seulement six ont été construit, tous par Cockerill à Seraing. La quatre est la seule survivante des six (qui ont tous survécu la 2e GM). Ils ont servis pendant 23 ans. La legende veut que la quatre excite encore parce que des chemineaux ont vu le convoy qui devait l’emmener au ferrailleur et l'ont enlever du convois et l'ont caché (selon le mussée c'était à Bruxelles - Midi et avec le concours du chef de gare). En 2006 elle a rouler pour la dernière fois. Les type 12 était utilisé pour l'express Bruxelles - Ostende (124 km en 58 minutes, aujourd'hui le train est plus lent mais a deux arrêts en plus). Les locomotives était stationer à la gare de Schaerbeek, la quatre est de nouveau à la maison.

concept cars that were slated to be demolished were secretly saved by people in the US and years later they surfaced so many could enjoy their design. much like the chap that saved this beauty
