Not a great chance for this route to happen but i can try Belgium rail (NMBS/SNCB) Line 15 from the famous Antwerp-Central to Hamont and Hasselt. Stops: Here stops the overhead wires. And is the IC train split in two. With one train going to Hamont and one going to Hasselt Line 19 - To Hamont Line 15 - To Hasselt Trains on the line are: MW41 - A DMU that drives on the Intercity Antwerp - Hamont/Hasselt (with decoupeling of the train in Mol) Wiki English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMBS/SNCB_Class_41 Wiki Dutch: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MW41 MS08 (Desiro) - EMU that drives the stopper between Antwerp and Mol stopping at every station on the way. Wiki Dutch: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS08 HLD 77 - Freight train that drives on this line Wiki English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCB_Class_77 Wiki Dutch: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLR_77 Some pictures down the line: Iconic Antwerp-Centraal: with a MW41
Yes please! We had german routes, swiss, great brittain, japan, but no belgian routes. This would be great!! Ik ben voor!
Not that this route is ever going to be build. Because there is little intrest in this i think here is some extra freight train that works on this line is the RTB Cargo coppertrain that is going to Umicore in Olen. Picture in Olen.
A new train on the line. This train will drive 2 trains in the morning to brussel and in the evening 2 trains back to Mol. So they will be on this route from Mol to Lier.
This route looks so nice, hope it as well, But I think if they ever decide to add some belgian routes that it wil be one of those I suggested, not because I posted them, but these are in fact the most popular and bussiest routes in Belgium. So Seems more logic to me https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/belgian-routes.12349/
Yes they are probably bussier and more logic. The reason for my suggestion is that i live in Geel and that there is a good variety of diesel and electric ;-)
Some older trains on the route. Before it was electrified. 80s/90s years pictures from http://www.sporen-met-rob.nl
