The Belgian State Railways Type 51 was a class of 0-6-0 T steam locomotives for shunting and local train service, introduced in 1866. [1]
The locomotives were built by various manufacturers from 1866 to 1905. [1] The machines had an outside frame with the cylinders located inside the frame. [2] [3] During the extended period of time in which these machines were built they underwent various changes, e.g. in the design of the water tanks, shelter, boiler and overall length.

The du Bousquet locomotive was an unusual design of articulated steam locomotive invented by French locomotive designer Gaston du Bousquet. The design was a tank locomotive, carrying all its fuel and water on board the locomotive proper, and a compound locomotive. The boiler and superstructure were supported upon two swivelling trucks, in a manner similar to a Meyer locomotive.
Belgium was heavily involved in the early development of railway transport. Belgium was the second country in Europe, after Great Britain, to open a railway and produce locomotives. The first line, between the cities of Brussels and Mechelen opened in 1835. Belgium was the first state in Europe to create a national railway network and the first to possess a nationalised railway system. The network expanded fast as Belgium industrialised, and by the early 20th century was increasingly under state-control. The nationalised railways, under the umbrella organisation National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB), retained their monopoly until liberalisation in the 2000s.
The NMBS/SNCB Type 12 was a class of 4-4-2 steam locomotives built in 1938–1939 for the fast lightweight Ostend boat trains operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium.
The Belgian State Railways was the original state-owned railway of Belgium. Established by an organic law of 1 May 1834, it began construction of its first line, between Brussels and Mechelen on 1 June 1834. This line, which was opened on 5 May 1835, was also the first steam-powered public railway in continental Europe.
The Mayumbe line was a 140 km (87 mi) long 610 mm gauge narrow gauge railway in the north west of the Democratic Republic of the Congo between the port of Boma and Tshela.
The Belgian State Railways Type 23, later known as the NMBS/SNCB Type 53, was a class of 0-8-0T steam locomotives built between 1904 and 1927.
Henri Borguet was Belgian entrepreneur who built in Belgium the first steam passenger railway in continental Europe, between Brussels and Mechelen.
The Belgian State Railways Type 1 was a class of 2-4-0 steam locomotives for passenger service, introduced in 1864.
The Belgian State Railways Type 12 was a class of 2-4-2 steam locomotives for express passenger service, introduced in 1888. They were the successors of the Belgian State Railways Type 1 locomotives.
The Belgian State Railways Type 25 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1884.
The Belgian State Railways Type 28 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1864.
The Belgian State Railways Type 29 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1875.
The Belgian State Railways Type 2 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for passenger service, introduced in 1875. Alfred Belpaire derived the locomotive design from the Type 28 by replacing the 1,450 mm (57.09 in) wheels of the Type 28 with larger 1,700 mm (66.93 in) diameter ones.
The Belgian State Railways Type 5 was a class of 2-4-0T steam locomotives for local passenger service, introduced in 1880.
The Belgian State Railways Type 20 was a class of 0-8-0T steam locomotives, introduced in 1870.
The Belgian State Railways Type 11 was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives for local passenger traffic, introduced in 1888. It gradually replaced the Type 5 in this role.
The Belgian State Railways Type 6 was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotives for express passenger service, introduced in 1885.
The Belgian State Railways Type 4 was a class of 2-6-2T steam locomotives for passenger traffic, introduced in 1878.
The Belgian State Railways Type 30 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for mixed service, introduced in 1900.
The Belgian State Railways Type 32 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for mixed service, introduced in 1902.
