Remise Monceau is part of a freight station along a railway line serving the Walloon industrial city of Charleroi. Monceau is one of the six major shunting yards in Belgium and has more than thirty sorting tracks. This shed, in the northwestern corner of the site, was originally a workshop for carriages and locomotives. Several locomotives of the 51, 62, and 73 series stood rusting away inside and outside these dilapidated hangars for a long time, but were removed a few years ago.
