The train pulled into a station in the government-held city at around 10am BST where Dutch investigators leading a probe into the disaster were waiting to take charge of the bodies.
From there, they will be put on planes - including a Dutch C130 Hercules and an Australian C-17 Globemaster - back to the Netherlands, where the doomed flight to Kuala Lumpur took off.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the first bodies would be flown to Eindhoven in the south of the country tomorrow to begin a torturous identification process he warned could take months.

After arriving in Eindhoven, the bodies will be taken to the Kaporaal van Oudheusden military barracks in Hilversum, around 100 kilometres (65 miles) away.
'As soon as a victim is identified first and foremost the family will be informed and no one else. That can take weeks or months,' said Mr Rutte.
