Capitel 66: Lens - Enghien - Soignies

Trackwidth: 1000 mm

The line was created for an agricultural environment, where were not many railway lines present. So making it possible for the farmers to export their products to markets in large cities.

The line consisted of two parts. From Lens to Noir Jambon. And then from there a section to Enghien, and another section to Soignies. In Noir Jambon trams from all three line parts did meet at the same time, so giving a direct connection to the one line, and a direct connection to the other part of the line.

Depots in Lens, Graty, Soignies and Enghien


Operators:

  • CFVMFrom begin until 1919
  • NMVBFrom 1919 until end
