Schuman tunnel

The Schuman Tunnel in Brussels is a 970-meter-long (about 3,180-foot) railway tunnel that runs beneath Boulevard Clovis, Ambiorix Square, and Boulevard Charlemagne. It carries the double-track Line 161 between Brussels and Namur, with the speed limit inside the tunnel set at 50 kilometers per hour (about 31 mph). The northern entrance is located beneath the Chaussée de Louvain station in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, while the southern end is at Brussels-Schuman station. Along the way, the tunnel passes behind the Berlaymont building. It is named after Robert Schuman, one of the founding fathers of the European Union, the Council of Europe, and NATO.
