At Stoomtrein Maldegem-Eeklo, visitors can not only ride historic trains, but also explore Maldegem station, take a look inside the workshop, and truly experience the atmosphere of the past. In addition to regular operating days, they organise various events throughout the year.

The organisation is run entirely by volunteers who dedicate their time and care to preserving and restoring historic railway equipment. From vintage locomotives to charming carriages – everything is lovingly maintained and brought back to life for rides and events.

In 2025, we received a special recognition: we are now officially recognised as an open heritage site. This means that we don’t just operate a railway – we preserve a piece of living heritage that is accessible to everyone.
