The abandoned railway in Belgium, also known as the “Chemin de Fer du Bocq,” was a narrow-gauge railway that operated in the Wallonia region of the country. The railway was initially built in the late 19th century and served as a means of transportation for both passengers and goods in the rural areas of Belgium.
However, due to financial difficulties and declining usage, the railway eventually fell into disuse and was officially abandoned in the mid-20th century. The tracks and infrastructure of the railway have since been left to decay, with overgrown vegetation reclaiming much of the once bustling railroad.
Despite its abandonment, the railway remains a popular destination for urban explorers and photographers looking to capture the eerie beauty of the decaying structures. The railway has become a symbol of the changing industrial landscape of Belgium and serves as a reminder of a bygone era.
Efforts have been made in recent years to preserve parts of the abandoned railway as a heritage site, with some sections being restored for tourism purposes. However, much of the railway still remains in a state of disrepair, serving as a haunting reminder of the country’s industrial past.
