Capitel 25: St.Ghislain - Hautrage et Extensions

Trackwidth: 1000 mm

On this line there was much goods traffic. There were many industrial sidings and industrial private branches. In 1902 a branch line to Boussu was created so making it possible to avoid the passage of Tertre and Saint-Ghislain with long goods trams. In 1925 a connection was made to the lines around Tournai.

Depot was in Saint-Ghislain.


Operators:

  • CFVMFrom begin until 1919
  • NMVBFrom 1919 until end
