Chemin de Fer à Vapeur de Trois Vallées.

Since the name from the title is a lot to digest, they like to be called #CFV3V. ‘They’ is a bunch of mostly #train drivers who had, back in 1973, the crazy idea of rescuing old trains of being scrapped. Fast forward 50 years and the organization is arguably the biggest in the Benelux getting to live on the memory of train patrimonium.

The #museum of CFV3V is impressive for a lack of better words and the steam engine trips are often booked up well in advance.

CFV3V also holds half a dozen train wreckages that either are waiting to be restored or which are used for spare parts.

Well worth a visit even if you are not into trains.

Old 5-axle steam train with 2 carriages. Lots of rust and decay.
The carcass of a steam engine (only the combustion chamber and steam vent) atop two 2-axle bogies. Again lots of decay.
An array of old steam trains in such a state one asks oneself how they are going to be restored.
A 3-axle steam train wit 2 carriages in a severe state of decay. The steam vent is open exposing the pipework.
