Tilburg - Turnhout railway line, popularly known as the Bels Line, was a railway line between Tilburg and Turnhout. North of Baarle-Nassau Grens station, this formed the Dutch part of Railway Line 29. Since 1990, a cycle path has been constructed on the Bels Line route. Stations The railway line between Tilburg and Turnhout had seven stations: Tilburg (km 31) Riel (km 25) Alphen (km 18) Baarle-Nassau (km 13) Baarle-Nassau Grens (km 9) Weelde (km 8) Turnhout (km 0) There was also a branch to Goirle for freight trains. History Until 1865, the entire area between Turnhout and Baarle-Nassau was characterised by vast heathlands. In that year, construction of the railway line between Turnhout and Tilburg was started and the Weelde-Merksplas station (south of the Steenweg op Zondereigen) was built. The railway line was built and operated by the "Grand Central Belge (GCB)", which is why the railway line was popularly called the "Bels lijntje" in the (North Brabant) vernacular.

Baarle, the most remarkable village in the world. 30 pieces of Belgium and the Netherlands that are intertwined. On the map it is called Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog. A village, unique in its duality: two municipal councils with two mayors and two schools. But with one population, which, with its two nationalities, goes hand in hand. Without realizing it, you cross the border dozens of times.
