history
In the 19th century, by order of the Belgian King Leopold I , there was a predecessor station on Place Rogier just a few hundred meters south of today's North Station . Construction began on September 28, 1841 and was finished in March 1846. This terminus had 27 tracks. In 1952 a new station building was built about a hundred meters north of Place Rogier at a new through station on the Brussels north-south connecting line. The old building from 1846 was demolished in 1956.
