On January 20, 1986 drove an empty coal train (train Z38206 Clabecq Antwerp ) with the lead locomotive 5117 in the back of a steel train (train E27270 Châtelineau -Antwerp) with the lead locomotive in 2355 , which drove slowly because of approaching the split in Weerde . The 5117 derailed after the collision and overturned on the platform of railway station. This is a nose , and a part of the chassis was very badly damaged .
