Summary

Description
English: Diesel locomotive 202.020 from belgian heritage railway association "Patrimoine Ferroviaire et Touristique" (PFT), as seen at the Saint Ghislain loc yard, owned by the association, during on open door event. This locomotive, build 1955 by Anglo Franco Belge under licence of General Motors' Electro Motive Division was originally purchased by the Belgian Railways (SNCB-NMBS) and sold to the Luxemburgish railways (CFL) before it's delivery, as part of Class 1600 with number 1602. Unlike it's belgian counterpart (Class 52, former type 202), the luxemburgish loc have stayed in their original bodywork (with US F-class based so calles "big nose" or "bulldog nose" style). PFT decided to by one of teh retired CFL locs and paint it back to the belgian livery of the sixties (green with yellow stripes making a kind of moustaceh on both ends). Since then, PFT also bought CFL's 1603 after the bankruptcy of the Vennbahn, another heritae railway. This one i sstill in his CFL livery.
Français : La locomotive diesel 202.020 de l'association de préservation belge "Patrimoine Ferroviaire et Touristique" (PFT) vue à l'espace-train de Saint Ghislain, l'un des dépôts de l'association lors d'une bourse ouverte au public. Cette machine, construite en 1955 par l'Anglo Franco Belge sous licence de l'Electro Motive Division de General Motors avait initialement été commandée par la SNCB (les chemins de fer belges) puis cédée avant même sa livraison aux CFL (les chemins de fer Luxembourgeois) ou elle porta le matricule 1602. Contrairement aux série 52 conservées par la SNCB (type 202 avant 1970), les machines luxembourgeoises ont conservé leur carrosserie d'origine (avec leur cabine à "gros nez" dérivée du design américain "bulldog nose" des type F). Aussi, l'association PFT à profité de l'occasion d'acquérir l'une de ces machines lors de leur retrait du service afin de la repeindre dans la livrée Belge de leurs débuts. Entretemps, le PFT a également récupéré la 1603 des CFL lors de la faillite de la Vennbahn. Celle-ci est conservée dans la livrée CFL qu'elle portait lors de son retrait du service.
