Steam locomotive 64.169 is actually a Romanian steam locomotive that was
restored and brought to Belgium by museum association PFT/TSP. It is now
in the livery of the original Belgian class 64.
The picture was made on 20 July in the station of Dorinne-Durnal, on the museum line Ciney-Purnode(-Yvoir) operated by PFT/TSP.

64.169 is a Belgian, ex-Prussian P8 (DRG BR 38). In 2006 TSP/PTF bought a Romanian P8 and brought it, after a complete overhaul in Cluj, back to Belgium. Since this loco has never been been part of the Belgian railways, it received a number one higher than the highest on the original class, making this loco 64.169. On 12 September 2009 it pulled an extra train in Mons.
