About this audio guide
This guide to Train World in Brussels follows Le Belge, the locomotive that carried engineer George Stephenson out of Schaerbeek station on May 5, 1835, launching continental Europe's first steam passenger railway. It traces the engine's three decades of service, its scrapping in 1869, and the replica built decades later for a royal visit. Stand inside the restored station hall, now home to twenty-two locomotives, and look for Le Belge among them.
