The floods that took place in Belgium in mid-July had a severe impact on the country’s railway network. Infrastructure was damaged substantially, while critical rail freight routes closed for weeks.

What are the costs to restore so many railway lines? And how can rail infrastructure become more resilient for future natural disasters? These are some of the questions tackled in today’s RailFreight Live.
