The Tramsite Schepdaal is a tramway museum in Schepdaal, located in the Belgian municipality Dilbeek, west of Brussels The vicinal tramway line going from Ninove to Brussels Ninoofsepoort starts operating on September 8, 1887.
[2] The museum was managed by volunteers and closed for renovation in 1999, only to be reopened ten years later (July 1, 2009) by the non-profit association "Erfgoed Vlaanderen".
[3] A lot of work remains to be done, like the re-electrification of the grounds of the depot and the renewal of the tracks and switches, to enable short rides with the carriages.
The main showpiece is the royal carriage once built for King Leopold II of Belgium.
It remains a mystery if the King ever actually used the vehicle, but it is certain that the Shah of Persia used it when he visited Ostend in 1900.
