This year’s event marks a major milestone: celebrating 40 years of museum heritage operations on the historic railway line L52M. This video documents the intensive heritage transport network set up across the National Park Scheldevallei, connecting multiple cultural heritage sites between Puurs and Baasrode-Noord (Belgium).

Featured highlights include:
• Steam Locomotives: Intensive scheduling on the line, featuring notable guest locomotives such as the "Energie 507" (built in 1946) from Luxembourg and the SACM (1952) from the CFV3V preservation railway, culminating in the evening steam parade at Baasrode-Noord station.
• Maritime Heritage: The historic steam tugboat "Dockyard III" operating special sailings along the Scheldt river between Baasrode and Sint-Amands.
• Road Transport: Dedicated heritage shuttle buses ("Nostalbus") connecting passengers between the railway halts, mill sites, and the historic shipyards.
• Model Railroading: Exquisite, highly detailed model railway layout exhibitions showcasing miniature operations.
