The Antwerp–Lage Zwaluwe railway (railway line 12 in the Belgian numbering plan) is an important international railway line running from Antwerp in Belgium to Lage Zwaluwe in the Netherlands. The line was opened between 1854 and 1876. The opening of the high speed lines HSL 4 and HSL-Zuid in 2009 has decreased its importance for international passenger traffic.
