Schaerbeek station is situated in the middle of the Belgian railway network. It is a true gem in Belgian railway architecture. 

The railway garden connects it with a new industrial hangar.Together with this new museum complex in the form of a sawtooth shape, the Schaerbeek station represents a wonderful symbiosis of old and new in the Art Nouveau heart of Schaerbeek. 

Just like the station building, the new hall is connected to the city. Through the glass window you can already catch a glimpse of Le Belge, the first locomotive to be built in Belgium. Inside, from the bridge and mezzanine, there's a wonderful view to be enjoyed over both the city and the tracks.

Belgium’s railway network is the oldest on the European continent.

Five steam engines are here to be admired, including the Pays de Waes, the oldest remaining steam engine in Europe.

Lose yourself in the world of travellers, the 19th-century worker going to the factory and the business man taking the TEE from one European destination to the next. From the family going on a trip to the sea or the Ardennes to the aristocrat travelling to the exotic east by Orient-Express.

There are two royal carriages to be admired: one from the time of Leopold II and Albert I and another from the time of Leopold III and Baudouin.

Three life-sized noses of modern locomotives, designed by Siemens, Alstom and Bombardier, complete the visit to the museum of Train World.
