18 august 1999 - Han-sur-Lesse, Belgium/Belgie. Nearly all the autorails here were originally used elsewhere on the Vicinal network and came to the Grottes de Han as other rural lines closed. Here, AR266 of 1936, the newest of the six autorails in service, waits to form another train to the Grottes. ART90, in the background, was constructed in 1934 from a trailer car dating from the 1890s.

6 june 2009 - Han-sur-Lesse (BE). The 3.2km metre-gauge tramway at Han-sur-Lesse links the village to famous caves nearby, visited by many tourists. It was once connected to other lines but has now become the very last true Vicinal tramway, although now worked purely as a commercial operation. Trams run to the cave entrance, drawing several open trailers, and then go back empty to the village for another load.
