On Saterday 27th & sunday 28th of May, there was a WW2 reenactment event in Eeklo (B) where visitors and reenactors could take a ride with steam train from the event in Eeklo to Madegem station and back.
That atmosphere took everyone back 78 years in time !
Ragnar and I visited the event on Sunday.
Hope you enjoy this video !
