Tubize 2069

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tubize 2069 is a preserved Belgian industrial steam locomotive. The wheel notation is 0-6-0.

At least 15 locomotives of this type were built. Three were built for the National Local Railways Company (Dutch: Nationale Maatschappij van de Buurtspoorwegen). At least three (but no more than six) were built for Métallurgie Hoboken Overpelt factory. Loc No 2069 was one of them.

Tubize 2069 was used by Métallurgie Hoboken Overpelt until the 1970s. Later it came to SDP heritage railway (in Dendermonde). It is being restored now. It should be operational again by the summer of 2007.
