Railway Stations Opened In 1866
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This number of citizens makes Damwâld the largest village in the municipality of Dantumadiel. History The present day village of Damwâld is a merged place of three older villages, merged in 1971. The three villages were; Dantumawoude ''(Dantumawâld)'', Akkerwoude ''(Ikkerwâld)'' and Murmerwoude ''(Moarrewâld)''. But it was in the 19th century that the villages started really growing together already. From the second half of that century the buildings strongly densified and in 1880 along the Murmerlaan (later named the Haadwei) the first tram track of Friesland was opened, a horse track. The municipality decided to move the town hall to Murmerwoude. Up until 1881 this was located in the village of Rinsumageast.
