Ship loader Le Truc:
In the Hainaut village of Lessines, along the Dender, this piece of industrial history is rusting: a ship loader who dumped crushed stone on the boats.
Le Truc was built in 1922 by the owners of the nearby quarry and fell into disuse in the 1980s. The crushed stone for Le Truc was delivered by train, but hardly any remains of the train tracks can be found. The structure was built in Marchienne-au-Pont, now a borough of Charleroi, between the two world wars. The pipes used to dump the crushed stone into the ships have been dismantled and are rusting next to Le Truc.
