This subject touches me closely, as I worked with NMBS's IT department 
for several years, and the ATLAS project was part of my charge. I still 
have some connections there, and am willing to use them.
But first I'd like to try and continue on the efforts of "Orwall" (or 
what was the nick?) so I posted a request for contact on her/his contact 
page this evening. If nothing comes from that (the contact page shows a 
long silence, after all) I might well open the contact with NMBS/SNCB 
IT-department.

FWIW: in my opinion we should not rely on the "dynamic" data of one 
week's train movements, but rather on the static data of "what track is 
where"; I hope this will give more info, the line numbers at the very least.

Rgds,
Karel Adams.
