Machine history
In 1926, the Cimenterie de Dannes, which already had a type III Cockerill shunting locomotive 020, acquired a more powerful locomotive: a type V 020 Cockerill. This Cockerill n° 3157 was called Couronne n° 18 .
Placed as a monument in the site of the Eqiom Cement Factory in Dannes since 1992, the locomotive was transported in June 2021 on the service tracks of the Arques station, with a view to its complete restoration by the members of the CFTVA. Objective: return to service in 2026, for the 100th anniversary of Cockerill n° 3157!
