Mechelen is a railway station in the city of Mechelen, Antwerp, Belgium. The station opened on 5 May 1835 on the Lines 25, 27 and 53.
In 1835, the first public train journey on the European mainland arrived near the station. The train line stopped just south of the station, as there was no bridge over the canal until 1836. Lines were built in all directions from the station: North to Antwerp, south to Brussels and France, east to Leuven, Liège and Verviers and west to Dendermonde, Ghent, Bruges and Ostend.
To the east of the station is the large Mechelen Train Works, where trains receive maintenance and heavy works, such as refurbishment.
