Most viewed - Tramsite Schepdaal (2017)On Sunday, September 9, Open Monument Day celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. This is also an important date for the Tramsite Schepdaal (Dilbeek), as it will once again become an Open Monument after a long period of closure. The successive extensive restoration phases of the protected local tram depot from 1887 only allowed guided tours. From 9 September, this gem from the Belle Epoque can be revisited every Thursday and Sunday afternoon, and by appointment in the winter. An initial call for local volunteers was enthusiastically responded to, and a motivated group is forming. However, more people with a heart for this heritage are still needed! This opening was also a “must” for Herita/Open Monuments to obtain Flemish subsidies for further renovations, which have been approved. Due to the ravages of time, there is still much work to be done on the site. One of the must-sees to visit on Sunday: after the carriage sheds, the steam tram shed has now been restored to its original state, with the return of the smoke vents in the roof that ensured that they could be kept under pressure day and night so as not to lose time on the first journeys at 3:30 in the morning! The non-profit organisation Buurtspoorwegmuseum plans to be responsible for the tramsite's public activities and wants to reach a large audience, including young and old, schools and seniors, and mobile heritage enthusiasts from home and abroad. It will also organise events and rent out parts of the site. After all, this is the very first tram museum in Belgium (1962) that houses a beautiful collection from the horse, steam, diesel, and electric eras, as well as all the 19th-century installations for the operation of the first local railway line in the capital's history. In addition to a festive September 9, the site is free on Sunday, September 16, during “Schepdaal Feest!”, with a free snack and drink.
