Capitel 111: Halle - Ninove

Trackwidth: 1000 mm

When the line from Brussel to Enghien was created, that line would not be laid via the city of Halle. That community, affraid of losing transport, then asked for a direct line from Halle to Ninove via Leerbeek. Approval for this line was given in 1886, but nothing happened after that date. In 1896 a new plan came, now via village of Vollezele. Approval was given in 1901. For the section of Ninove Burchtdam to Denderkaai use was made of the capital 13 (Brussel-Ninove)

Financing: 1.704.000 franc (state: 852.000, province Brabant: 331.000, province Oost-Vlaanderen: 95.000, local communities: 426.000)

  • VFBFrom begin until 1920
