Étoile du Nord (train)
The ''Étoile du Nord'' was an international express train. It linked Paris Nord in Paris, France, with Brussels, Belgium, and, for most of its existence, also with Amsterdam CS in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Its name meant literally "Star of the North" (North Star), and alluded not only to its route heading north from Paris, but also to one of its original operators, the ''Chemin de Fer du Nord''.
==History==
From its introduction in 1924 until 1927, the ''Étoile du Nord'' was a ''Rapide'' between Paris Nord and Brussels Midi/Zuid, and was operated by the CF du Nord and the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB). In 1927, it became a luxury train between Paris Nord and Amsterdam CS, via Brussels, and was operated by its original operators, along with the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL).
In 1937, the CF du Nord became part of the SNCF. Two years later, in 1939, the ''Étoile du Nord'' was suspended upon the outbreak of World War II. In 1946, the train was revived, initially as a ''Rapide''. In 1957, it became a first-class-only Trans Europ Express (TEE). In June 1984, it was downgraded to a two-class InterCity,〔"Summer services, 1984" (changes taking effect).
