  Leuven St. Louis 4-axle motor car # 10419  —  Excursion
Tervuren
A tour with the American P.C.C. that has been on trial in Belgium. As a result, the Belgian tram industry bought a license for P.C.C. vehicles, which was valid for the then Western Europe. Colour photos of this tram have never appeared. The tram was painted green.
In the background, you can see part of the Tervuren — Brussels suburban train which like the tram line was later to be closed. A part of the route was recuperated many years later for the Brussels tram line 39.
