Currently the train departs from Spontin Station and runs to Ciney. There is currently no access to the train at Ciney due to renovations. The train then returns to Spontin before travelling onto the current end of the line at Bauche. The train then returns to Spontin with an overall journey time of 1½ hours for the round trip.
We’re delighted to share with you the exciting plans we have in the pipeline to make our railway line even safer and more comfortable, thanks to generous subsidies from the Walloon Region. This year we are embarking on major improvements to our line, which will benefit not only from the expertise of specialist companies but also from the dedication of our valued PFT/Chemin de Fer du Bocq volunteers.
These works will have an impact on our regular and special train schedules in 2025.
Come aboard an authentic railcar from the 1950s for a guided ride through the Bocq valley, or join one of our special events such as a gastronomic meal served on board the train or a meeting with Saint-Nicolas and many others. Departing from Spontin station, the journey of about 1h30 will first take you to Ciney (no access at present) before returning to Spontin and pursuing to Bauche, the present end of the line. From Bauche, the train returns to Spontin, the end of the journey. Our four-legged friends are welcome aboard.

– Paul Jessett, Facebook "Le Chemin de Fer du Bocq - Ligne 128 / Spoorlijn 128"We were very happy to attend to this first experience to enjoy delicious meal in this train. We appreciate very much the organisation of this event and the kindness of all the volunteers. It also was very interesting to receive all the informations about this railway line by competent persons. Nice to attend to the future experiences.
– Daniel D., TripadvisorI think the greatest thing in the whole experience was to meet people passionate with what they do, trying to communicate to you everything they can. Kind, helpful, with humor, a bit from the "past"; please keep it that way!
– Yiannis P., Google ReviewsSuper activity! Very enthusiastic volunteers at work. By buying a ticket for the train you immediately support our heritage. Very friendly people, explanations in French and in Dutch. The possibility to have a drink in the old station before or after your trip.
– Rosanne L., Google ReviewsA super day out, friendly staff, and a beautiful train ride through some stunning scenery. €14 for all day is a bargain. Nice air conditioned bar car on train with selection of beers.
