Capitel 58: Leuven - Diest
Trackwidth: 1000 mm
Financing: 1.160.000 francs (state: 290.000, province Brabant 290.000, local governement 572.000, private persons 8.000).
The community of Diest was not willing to participate. So the line ended in this city at the city border. Only years later, in 1911, when the line from Diest to Koersel was made, a connection between the two line was made over the city border from the Vest to the railway station. For this, the capital was raised with 260.000 francs.
Below a print of the timetable of the year 1931.
