In a side gallery of the main tunnel Walert you can see a red electric locomotive from the years 1912-1925. It was built by the German company AEG. With two electric motors it has a weight of 18 tons and 61 HP. The locomotive was used in French ARBED tunnels such as the Montrouge tunnel and is part of our collection in 1998.

A visit to the MNM consists of: an exhibition at the reception + 3.8 km mine train + a guided tour 80m underground. From Tuesday to Sunday the starting times are: 14:30, 15:30 and 16:30

Recently a group of the project Fanthomes was in our tunnel. Some shots were made for a 360° movie for Spektrum.lu about myths, legends and folklore from the region of Rumelange. Children and people from the surrounding area made among other things the costumes.

Les deux locomotives électriques articulées à l’entrée de la route près de la Cimalux à Rumelange sont actuellement remises en état par une équipe du CIGL Rumelange. Un grand merci pour cela.

De 1957 à 1997, l’ARBED a utilisé cette locomotive électrique à bogies dans les galeries françaises. Il s’agit avec ses 44 tonnes de la machine la plus lourde de notre musée. Elle a été construite par la société Jeumont (F) en 1957. La locomotive est équipée de quatre moteurs électriques de 153ch chacun et a été utilisés dans les mines Burbach et Audun. Depuis l’an 2000, elle fait partie de notre exposition souterraine.
