A selection of photos from my Belgian Railways collection.
The Kortrijk train waits in Oostende.
This beauty was in Antwerp Centraal. On the destination board it said Oostende, and we boarded it along with several other people, only to hear afterwards that it was NOT the Oostende train after all (which was annoying).
The station building at De Panne.
I called this photo "End of the Line". It's taken at Zwankendamme.
My least favourite station, reached via a subway under the main road above it. The reason why I don't go to Zeebrugge at weekends!
Inside one of the old red trains on the Brugge-Zeebrugge line.
Taken on arrival at my favourite Zeebrugge station, December 2007.
Looking in the opposite direction at "Dorp".
"Dorp" with the now-closed Suffolk Ferry bar just visible.
A solitary loco heads to the docks, Zeebrugge. Taken September 2011.
Kortrijk.
The train from Brussels at Genval station, September 2005.
Diesel loco hauling freight through Brugge, September 2005.
AM75 in Antwerp Centraal. Went on one last year in Brussels, they're not too bad.
A Thalys in Brussels Zuid.
A Thalys travels through Brussels Noord.
An AM80 ("Shitty") operating the Brussels Airport Express in Brussels Noord.
AM96 in Oostende, believed to be operating the Antwerp service.
Old water tower beside Oudenaarde station.
Train in Oostende, may be the Eupen service.
Inside the AM80. No luggage space, not ideal on an airport train. At least on others you can get luggage between seats, not on these vile things. Nice to know they're being refurbished.
The other carriage on the AM80 is better if you can get on before all these seats are taken!
Oostende-bound train in Antwerp Centraal.
The weird (in my opinion) AM86 train in Antwerp Centraal.
Train entering Brussels Noord.
Airport-bound train waits in De Panne, September 2011.
Freight train travelling through Brugge.
Magnificent Antwerp Centraal station.
Trains wait in Antwerp Centraal, September 2011.
The Brussels-Amsterdam train, Brussels Noord September 2005.
My favourite destination station in Belgium!
The historic waiting room in Veurne.
Zwankendamme!
The Zeebrugge Dorp train in Brugge, September 2010.
Two locos tethered together in Zwankendamme.

You should see how Genval station has changed since you took your picture: works for Express Regional Network, 4 tracks instead of 2, new parking above tracks, new road above tracks, etc...

Sounds very good Andre. We hope to go to Genval again sometime, try La Laguna again and hope for better weather!
