website under construction

The European Commission and the European Parliament have declared 2021 the European Year of Rail
Although the emphasis is on promoting the railways for transport and travel within the framework of the Green Deal, it should also be realised that the construction of railways and tramways played an important historical role in the growth of Europe and left behind an important heritage.

We want to use the 2021 European Year of Rail to highlight the importance of the railway heritage, this year and next.
The website mainly consists of four databases

• Who's who - a list of organisations involved in the preservation and mise en valeur of railway heritage in Europe - to encourage networking
• a list of good examples of conservation and re-use of railway heritage (both buildings and infrastructure and lines)
• a list of activities that will be organised, i.e. a calendar
• a series of news items and press releases.

In addition, we also want to build a number of pages devoted to the influence of the railways on art and culture.

For the moment, only an English version is available, but it is our intention to make the site multilingual.
You can participate in these databases by filling in and returning the questionnaires (see attachment). In any case, we would like to include your organisation in the who-is-who.
