CFC/NMBS/CFV3V 5538 stands on 23 September 2023 in Treignes. The railways of Congo (Chemins de Fer du Congo) tried to buy three ex-SNCB Class 55s, but the deal fell through due to another civil war in that African country. The NMBS/SNCB was and is phasing out Class 55 rapidly and the 5538, which was to be opne of the Congolese locos, ended with the CFV3V that uses the loco on Diesel days and for some shunting duties. Since there are plans to give the loco a repaint back to original colours, anyone willing to photograph a quasi-Congolese Diesel in the Belgian Ardennes is advised not to wait for too long.

A little joke on the part of CFV3V, seen on 22 September 2023 at Mariembourg: Class 90 never had the latest NMBS/SNCB colours in grey with yellow and blue accents; neither did Class 91, but that ios no reason at all for CFV3V not to put 9011 in the latest national colours. Leonardus Schrijvers
Ftormer SNCB 9008 stands in the shed of the CFV 3V at Mariembourg on 22 September 2023. Class 90 is the firsat version of Class 91: in the 1970s SNCB decided to rebuild Class 90s into Class 91 shunters. Leonardus Schrijvers

SCM's YVONNE shuttles on the area of the CFV3V at Mariembourg on 23 September 2023. YVONNE offers cab rides because she is to small and to weak to haul a filled passenger train on the beautiful and hilly track between Mariemborug and Treignes. Leonardus Schrijvers
In the pouring rain, freshly restored 64 250 hauls a steam shuttle out of Treignes toward Marienbourg via Olloy during the 50th anniversary of the CFV3V. Leonardus Schrijvers
Every hour, a steam shuttle enters Treignes during the Weekend-a-Vapeur (3rd weekend of September) and AD05 hauls one into Treignes on 21 September 2019. One is curious of the 50th anniversary of the CFV3V in September 2023! Leonardus Schrijvers

CFB 1605 -in quasi CFL painting- is about to haul the first shuttle from Mariembourg on 21 September 2019. This engine is owned by CFB but based at the CFV3V, who have scored an extra exhibition piece when the loco is not needed. The loco is a member of the Nohab CLass 52 even though she carries a CFL number. Leonardus Schrijvers
