The preserved building of the old Schaerbeek railway station houses the museum and is a unique experience to know everything related to railway engines. The museum exhibits information and material dating back to the first steam locomotives till today. The display takes you through the history of Belgian railworks where one can even "drive" a train in an interactive game.
