Railway line 150 - Houyette, Namur, Belgium - Rails to Trails on Waymarking.com

In Belgium, province Namur, commune Houyet the Hour-Havenne tunnel was part of the former line 150 Tamines-Jemelle. The tunnel is about 500 meter long.
.
This section Houyet-Wanlin was opened on 1894-01-04.
Passenger traffic on this section was halted on 1959-04-05 and the Houyet-Hour-Havenne section was broken up in 1978-1979.
It is now a walking and cycling path part of the RAVEL network of Wallonia.

The width of the tunnel and some bridge pillars over the Lesse river seem to indicate that it should be a 2 track line, yet all sites discussing this particular section mention only a single track.

About the track (22 km)
Houyet - Rochefort - Jemelle section: broken up. Between Houyet and Jemelle, a RAVeL cycling and walking path has been constructed in asphalt (22 km). A concrete track with a central rail was constructed on the Rochefort-Jemelle section, where Bombardier tested the Guided Light Transport (GLT), a system of half tram and half bus. The central rail was broken out again after the tests.
