The train and train station at Niederpallen of the former Noerdange to Martelange meter-gauge railway (Grand Duchy of Luxembourg)

A few pictures from a couple years ago when I went to Niederpallen (commune of Redange-sur-Attert) in Western Luxembourg to check out the old meter-gauge train that used to go from Noerdange to Martelange at the Belgian border, nicknamed Jangli (or Jhangeli, depending on orthography). Operated between 1890 and 1953 it was one of the seven meter-gauge railways in the Grand Duchy, all of which were closed down between 1948 and 1955 (the other ones being Luxembourg City-Echternach, Luxembourg-City-Remich, Diekirch-Vianden, Grundhof-Beaufort, Bettembourg-Aspelt and Cruchten-Larochette). Nowadays most of the former track is a bicycle path and the train station at Niederpallen is a small museum (which I didn't get to visit), some station buildings of the line were also preserved. For anyone interested, more info can be found [here at rail.lu](https://rail.lu/lignenoerdangemartelange.html).
