En Type S sur les rails du Hainaut 1970-2006
In 1970, the Hainaut tramway network remained the last major set of metric-gauge electric local lines in Belgium. These regional links served the Charleroi region and the Centre region, while the last interurban service, for a short time still, allowed access to the city of Mons.
The authors introduce us to all the lines still in service at that time, operated by the elegant S-type locomotives that appeared in 1953, some of which, thoroughly renovated and assigned to the service of the tracks and works of the Charleroi pre-metro, were still running in 2006.
The description of the lines is preceded by a history of the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Vicinaux, the Hainaut network, and a presentation of the S-types. At the end of the book, a large chapter in color shows the S-types in everyday life, grouped by theme.
