That's correct; service was waived in October 2008 I think. According to DB, SNCF and SNCB, night trains were no longer profitable after high speed trains (and cheap air fares) were introduced.

You can still go by train, just not overnight.

You can go on a bus overnight though, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Suinday.

will give you details.

Leaves Berlin at 2300, arrives in Brussels at 0600.

You could still take a late train to Köln and take the night train there. Maybe in 2010 the night train might return, as DB still believes in night trains, and from 2010 onwards NMBS won't be able to sabotage them anymore.
