It was a cold cold evening, yesterday. During the waiting, I could see the grass slowly turn white. By the time the two freight trains had passed, my tripods were covered with a thin frosted layer.
The first train, hauled by a Traxx locomotive, looks like a train from Antwerp to Dourges. The second one is the most intriguing though. Description of the load was “big white containers”, and indeed: it was a train full of big white containers. We can only guess about the most secret content. Would it have been booster shots, nuclear waste, fireworks, mouth masks… or Christmas balls?
