Summary

| Description |
English: Railcar 4605 from the Belgian Heritage Railway PFT-TSP (Railway and Touristic Heritage) is used on the railway line 128 of the Belgian Railways, a formerly dismantled line which is being renewed for touristic purpose by the volunteers of the association.
The class 46 diesel railcars (formerly type 554) of the Belgian Railways were build after world war 2, to ensure traffic on local railway lines. The 20 railcars were derived from type 553, with some improvements (larger windows for a more panoramic passenger experience, build in toilet...). During the golden sixties, many belgian local lines were dismantled, due to increasing use of road vehicles. As railcars have limited running costs, they continue to be used where their limited capacity was large enough for the duty. In 1984, a major timetable review, known as "IC-IR Plan" (for InterCity-InterRegio) simultaneously offers better services on major lines and dismantlement of the remaining local lines. Class 46 became too small for the remaining duties. As they were not so old, most of them were reused as infrastructure railcars or bought by various heritage railways. PFT-TSP owns 3 of them (one restored in original green livery). CFV3V, another heritage Railway also owns 4 of them.Français : L'autorail 4605 du "Patriloine Ferroviaire et Touristique" , une association Belge qui exploite notamment le Chemin de fer du Bocq (ligne de chemin de fer Belge 128, démantelée depuis les années '80 et en cours de remise à niveau par les bénévoles de l'association.
Les 20 autorails de la série 46 (ancien type 554) des chemins de fer Belges (SNCB) a été construite après la seconde guerre mondiale, pour assurer l'exploitation des lignes d'intérêt secondaire de Belgique. Conçu par Brossel, il est dérivé du type 553 (série 49) auquel il apporte quelques améliorations : des vitrages plus grands, visant à offrir une vue panoramique aux passagers, et al présence d'un cabinet de toilettes. Au cours des années 1960, la concurrence de la route induit la fermeture des lignes secondaires les moins fréquentées. Ces autorails restent toutefois en service là ou leur capacité limitée s'accommode à la demande, en raison de leurs coûts d'exploitations inférieurs. En 1984, les chemins de fer Belges réforment en profondeur leur offre voyageur. Le "Plan IC-IR" améliore sensiblement la desserte des lignes principales, notamment par l'introduction d'un service cadencé. Parallèlement, les lignes secondaires subsistantes sont à leur tour fermées. Ces autorails, de capacité insuffisantes, se retrouvent sans usage, malgré leur age. Certains sont réutilisés pour les besoins des services de l'infrastructure. D'autres sont cédés à des chemins de fer touristiques : le PFT dispose de 3 de ces engins, alors que le CFV3V en a acquis 4. |
