Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Just been to Brussels.Did we at Bedlington provide the first engine to them in 1835Maggie - Two links to Wikipedia info on Belgium Rail Transport:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Belgium en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mrail_transport_in_Belgiu No mention of Bedlington but the year 1835 ="On May 5, 1835, the first railway in continental Europe opened between Brussels-Groendreef/Allée verte and Mechelen. Some sort of railroad orcanal had been envisaged as early as 1830. The feasibility of a railroad was investigated by engineers Pierre Simons and Gustave De Ridder. The first trains were Stephenson engines imported from Great Britain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
