Durnal station

The Dorinne-Durnal station is a railway station along the line 128 that serves Dorinne and Durnal, both sub-communities of the municipality of Yvoir. The station has a passing track and a freight track.

The station is one of the restored stations of the tourist train on the Bocq line (line 128) from Ciney station . Currently this track is back in use as far as Purnode station .

Railway line 128 was initially the connection between Ciney and Yvoir. It runs through the beautiful valley of the river Le Bocq over countless bridges and through countless tunnels. Because the maintenance of this weighed too heavily in the costs, the line was discontinued in the early 1960s.

Today there is a tourist train 'Le Chemin de fer du Bocq' . Departing from Spontin station, the journey takes you to Ciney before returning to Spontin where the journey continues to Bauche and ends with a return to the starting point. Duration: about 1.5h.
