9:00 The Netherlands didn't just take Flanders, they also took French Flanders (Duinkerke, Hazebroek) and Waals Brabant (Nijvel, Waver). From what I can see, it's mostly the current railway, plus a couple of abandoned lines that used to connect Belgium and the Netherlands (maybe other abandoned lines too). For example the Line from Sint-Niklaas (my home town) to Terneuzen (line 54, abandoned in 1952 for passengers and in 1975 for goods). There is another non-existent line, from Gent-Centraal (real name: Gent-Sint-Pieters) to Terneuzen. There currently is a study to create that line, but it doesn't exist yet.
