It was on this day, 25 April 2016, almost, 20 years after my first visit to Antwerp Central, I made the opportunity to revisit this amazing European railway palace.<\/p>\n

SNCB\u2019s (Belgian National Railway) Antwerp Central had been completely transformed since my 1996 visit (while traveling from Brussels to Amsterdam with my dad).<\/p>\n

It now features tracks on three levels, including a through line at the lowest level.<\/p>\n

In my railway travels across Belgium, I\u2019ve photographed at Antwerp Central on a half dozen occasions over the years, and the station remains one of my favorite.<\/p>\n

These photographs were exposed digitally with my Lumix LX7, which is an ideal tool for making urban images.<\/p>\n

Antwerp is among the cities featured in my new Railway Guide to Europe<\/a> published by Kalmbach Publishing.<\/p>\n
