Trains at Maastricht by the Belgian border

Netherlands - 2011

Maastricht is located in the south-east of the Netherlands close to the Belgian border and the city of Liege. The main line west is operated by Dutch Railways with branches in the area mainly operated by Veolia. In addition there are direct trains from Brussles which see SNCB locos cross the border into the Netherlands. The main reason to visit Maastricht on this occasion was to see and travel on the Plan V EMUs which were still in use. In addition a large number of 1700 class Bo-Bo electric locos were seen.
