The Soignes Forest Railway was a Belgian type Decauville railway, which has disappeared since its closing in 1918.
Put into service in 1902, this railway linked the Petite Espinette in the Brussels municipality of Uccle (at the limit of Rhode-Saint-Genèse), then served by the old line to Waterloo of the Brussels tram, to Boitsfort railway station, on the Brussels–Namur–Luxembourg railway line. Established in the Sonian Forest, the line was 2.5km (01.6miles) long.
After the First World War, it was abandoned for reasons of unprofitability. This railway line transported gravelling materials for the laying of forest paths, and was also used to transport wood.[1]
Starting from the beginning of the Drève Saint-Hubert, the railway crossed the Drève de Lorraine and then ran along a large part of the Drève des Deux Montagnes.
The shed, built in 1902 like the line,[2] was renovated in 2003. Having served as a shed for the rolling stock, it is the only remnant of the old railway. In the, this building served as a storage facility and shelter for foresters.
