TheHSL 2 (Dutch:Hogesnelheidslijn 2, English:High-Speed Line 2) is aBelgianhigh-speed rail line betweenLeuven andAns (nearLiège) and is 66.2 km (41 mi) long, all of it on dedicated high-speed tracks, which began service on 15 December 2002. As part of the Belgian railway network, it is owned, technically operated and maintained byInfrabel.

Since the extension to the German border was completed (theHSL 3), the fastest journey time betweenBrussels South andCologne Central Station is 1 hour and 47 minutes. HSL 2 is used byEurostar (previouslyThalys) andICE trains as well as fast internalBelgian RailwaysInterCity services.

Route

[edit]
HSL 2 near Berloz alongside A3/E40

From Brussels South, trains travel northwards overLine 0 throughCentral andNorth stations. AtSchaarbeek the route splits in two; northward bound trains continue overline 25N,line 25,Antwerp andHSL 4 to the Dutch border, eastward bound trains continue overline 36N, line 2 andline 36 toLiège and from there overline 37 andHSL 3 and again line 37 to the German border. Between Schaarbeek andLeuven there are four tracks; the two outer tracks, line 36, permit travel at 160 km/h (99 mph). The two central tracks, line 36N, were planned for 200 km/h (124 mph) direct service and trainsets equipped withETCS 1 are now allowed to travel at 200 km/h (124 mph).

At Leuven, trains pass through the existing station at 160 km/h (99 mph). Just outside, HSL 2 proper commences with a speed initially limited to 200 km/h (124 mph). After theBierbeek tunnel (758 m),[1] maximum speed is increased to 300 km/h (186 mph) alongside theE40 motorway. Over the last few kilometers, curbing away from the E40, speed is limited to 220 km/h (137 mph). Quitting HSL 2, trains run to Ans station at 140 km/h (87 mph). BetweenAns andLiège-Guillemins station, passenger trains run on the modernised line 36 at a speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) (downwards to Liège) or 140 km/h (87 mph) (EMUs upwards to Ans).

Other

[edit]

HSL 2 is used by 300 km/h (186 mph)Thalys PBKA sets (now operated byEurostar),ICE3neoEMUs on international services, and 200 km/h (124 mph) domestic InterCity services run by sets ofClass 18 orClass 13 locomotives withI6,I10 or (mostly)I11 carriages. Trains with the newSNCB Class 18 locomotives appeared on the line.[when?][2] probably in 2010.[3] TheDBVelaro D (BR407) was planned to use the route on its way toLondon, however these plans have since been shelved due to technical and financial problems, and it is unknown if the units will find use on the current ICE International services from Brussels to Germany.[4]

Maintenance bases for the line are situated atLeuven andAns.

ETCS 1 has been installed on the HSL 2. It is operated from Block 12 in Brussels.

HSL 2 isstandard gauge,double track,electrified at25 kV, 50 Hz AC.
