How Can We Help?
The Belgian railway line 162 is a railway line in Belgium connecting Namur to the Luxembourg border at Sterpenich (Arlon). Completed in 1859, the line runs 146.8 km.[1] Together with the Belgian railway line 161 (Brussels – Namur) and the CFL Line 50 (Sterpenich – Luxembourg City), it forms the important rail link between Brussels and Luxembourg.
August 2022 work will start on having the electrification switched over to 25kV[2] these works are part of a desire to increase the speed, load and frequency of rail traffic.
