The Belgian railway line 26 is a railway line in Belgium connecting Brussels to Halle. It opened on 19 July 1926 between Schaerbeek and Watermael railway stations. The line was completed on 3 January 1930. It was built to bypass Brussels before the 1952 North–South connection existed.
Today, all passenger trains using the line travel from Vilvoorde on a branch line called 26/1 and not from Schaerbeek, to various destinations south of Brussels. The line carries (parts of) several services of the GEN/RER: S4, S5, S7, S9. Some of these use the Schuman-Josaphat tunnel, which branches off just south of Meiser station.
The line serves the following stations:

Schaerbeek/Schaarbeek
Haren
Bordet
Evere
Schaerbeek-Josaphat
Meiser
Merode
Etterbeek-Cinquantenaire
Delta
Boondael/Bondaal
Vivier d'Oie/Diesdelle
Saint-Job/Sint-Job
Moensberg
Beersel
Huizingen
Halle
Schaarbeek-Josaphat is no longer an operational station, it was a freight yard very near the present Evere railway station.
Etterbeek-Cinquantenaire was also a freight station, now closed and (mostly) filled in.
