The reason was said to be a camel on the tracks. The official tweet said the delay 'could take up to 10 minutes', but not longer.
Later, this turned out to be a misunderstanding due to a confusion of tongues. The NMBS apparently received a French message about "un chat mort" (a dead cat) but interpreted it as "un chameau" (a camel).
NMBS tweeted a message later in the day to correct things. "It was a warm day for everyone! The camel that we tweeted about was a dead cat" they wrote.
