Promenade du Chemin de Fer

To do penance for some of my over- indulgences this week I decided to take advantage of the slightly less cold weather today to walk the 5 1/4 km track (that's just over 3 miles) that follows an abandoned railway line, the Promenade du Chemin de Fer. While it isn't always the quietest walk in Brussels, running alongside a major road for part of its length, it is nicely placed for public transport, with metro stations at the beginning and end, and even a tram passing below it half-way along, for the days when I don't want to do the whole thing.
