Rail Transport In Belgium
Rail transport in Belgium benefits from an extensive rail network. The country is a member of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The UIC Country Code for Belgium is 88. History On May 5, 1835, the first railway in continental Europe opened between Brussels-Groendreef/Allée verte and Mechelen. Some sort of railroad or canal had been envisaged as early as 1830. The feasibility of a railroad was investigated by engineers Pierre Simons and Gustave De Ridder. The first trains were Stephenson engines imported from Great Britain. The engines were called ''Pijl'' meaning Arrow, ''Olifant'' meaning Elephant, and 'Stephenson' (named after its designer). They pulled bench-cars and diligences. On the return from Mechelen, the ''Olifant'' pulled all 30 cars. By 1840, Ghent, Bruges, Ostend, Antwerp, Mechelen, Brussels and Leuven were connected. The lines that had to reach Liège, Mons and Kortrijk were partially completed. In 1843, when the major East-West/North-South axes were co ...

Brussels Metro Line 3
Line 3 is a planned expansion of the Brussels Metro, running from Albert premetro station, Albert, through the existing ''Trams in Brussels, premetro'' (underground tram) tunnel, and eventually terminating at Bordet railway station, Bordet. , it is under construction. History A very similar metro line was planned in 1969, but this project did not go ahead. In 2009, STIB/MIVB's director-general Alain Flausch announced plans to develop north–south metro lines, because it was increasingly difficult to improve surface transport in dense suburbs, and said a line to Bordet had political consensus. In 2010, Beliris commissioned a study into the route, with approximately and 7 stations. The plan was approved in 2013, with construction scheduled to start in 2018 and the first metros running in 2022. Beliris is responsible for building the northern part of the route, and STIB is building the rest. In June 2023, Beliris asked for help from the Federal Government of Belgium, Belgian G ...
