border lines Belgium - Luxembourg
Gouvy - Troisvierges (electrified)
|
|
The two-hourly Luxembourg - Liège service is jointly worked by SNCB and CFL with trains
and crews working through. Trains are hauled by dual-system electric locomotives: the
transition between 3kV DC and 25kV 50Hz is just south of Rivage in Belgium.

[Arlon -] Sterpenich - Kleinbettingen [- Luxembourg] (electrified)
|
|
SNCB 3kV DC electrification extends to Luxembourg station and Luxembourg
triage, where there are switchable tracks. SNCB 3kV EMUs work through to
Luxembourg and are also used on CFL local trains between Luxembourg and
Kleinbettingen. Two SNCB electric units have been transferred to CFL
ownership to account for this, but they are maintained by SNCB and work
in common with the SNCB fleet. SNCF diesel locomotives were used occasionally
on freight between Thionville and Arlon via Luxembourg, but this traffic is
being transferred to the newly-electrified Athus - Meuse line.

Athus - Rodange (electrified)
|
|
The area is electrified at 25kV 50Hz and CFL provides the hourly passenger
service from Rodange, whereas Athus has no SNCB passenger service. The SNCB's line from
Athus to Dinant via Virton and Bertrix (including the chord giving direct access
to Rodange) was electrified at 25 kV in December 2002, the transition 3/25 kV is located
about 135 from the SNCB/CFL-border. Through freight services
between Antwerp docks and Saint-Louis (the last station before the Swiss border)
or intermediate points such as Thionville are operated throughout by the SNCB's
type 13 dual-system electric locos (and the CFL's similar type 30s).
