@englischlokfuehrer Well, if there is a line, this train GOES that way! Thanks for the information, because I was wondering myself about this. =)

@thomy753 In my 'Benelux' stock book produced by an English compant called 'Platform 5' there's a map of all 3 countries and an enlarged map of Brussel and this shows a line going from the big junction between Schaerbeek and BNgoing via Bockstael, Simonis towards Forest. I have seen a spur off this line come back towards BZ., so it may be possible that this train goes that way.

@englischlokfuehrer I don't think there's such a line so it does pass Brussel-Noord and Centraal twice, but it only stops once in both.
-
@thomy753 So it would pass Brussel Noord and through the connection via Brussel Centraal twice then. Is there not a freight only avoiding line that goes around Brussel to prevent this ?
-
@englischlokfuehrer It's a long time ago, but I think it started in the Netherlands and in 'Brussel-Zuid' it 'turned around'. So that means a locomotive was attached to the other side of the train.

Where has it come from to get to Mechelen and how does then get to Brussel Zuid to face the right way for going towards Germany
The line should still be there but may be singled locally due to a metro line on the track bed. Of old it was an important bypass both for freight trains and as a connection loop between North and South Brussels (bay) stations before the tunnels were completed in the 50s.
