Modal shift
The third last day of coal trains to the power plant in Ruien. 3 days later, all transport would modal shift to water. It was a beautiful, cold day, and 2 trains were running. This is the first one, pulled by 6247. Hard to believe, or not, that this is one of the last trains on line 85 that used to connect Oudenaarde to Avelgem and Herseaux, near the French border. Today, this part of the line is a bicycle path.
More pictures of this train, of the second train hauled by 5112, and a short report, right >>>here<<<
