En ce début d’été, nos bénévoles ont activement travaillé à la réfection des toitures de nos voitures Mitropa et Halberstadt, avant de se concentrer sur un défi de taille : remettre en état un de nos deux fourgons générateurs. L’érosion avait en effet endommagé la carrosserie du fourgon. De très nombreuses heures ont été nécessaires…

– Paul Jessett, Facebook "Le Chemin de Fer du Bocq - Ligne 128 / Spoorlijn 128"We were very happy to attend to this first experience to enjoy delicious meal in this train. We appreciate very much the organisation of this event and the kindness of all the volunteers. It also was very interesting to receive all the informations about this railway line by competent persons. Nice to attend to the future experiences.
– Daniel D., TripadvisorI think the greatest thing in the whole experience was to meet people passionate with what they do, trying to communicate to you everything they can. Kind, helpful, with humor, a bit from the "past"; please keep it that way!
– Yiannis P., Google ReviewsSuper activity! Very enthusiastic volunteers at work. By buying a ticket for the train you immediately support our heritage. Very friendly people, explanations in French and in Dutch. The possibility to have a drink in the old station before or after your trip.
– Rosanne L., Google ReviewsA super day out, friendly staff, and a beautiful train ride through some stunning scenery. €14 for all day is a bargain. Nice air conditioned bar car on train with selection of beers.
