Ringspoorbaan
Ringspoorbaan or ''ring railway'' is a railway line in Amsterdam, Netherlands, consisting of a south-eastern branch Zuidtak, and a western branch Westtak. A number of metro lines also connect stations on the Ringspoorbaan. History While inchoate plans for the ring had been in place for many decades, parts of it, including several bridges, were built during the recession of the 1930s, when dikes were constructed to provide employment opportunities. However, the ring railway became truly feasible after the Schiphol line opened in 1978. This line provided limited connectivity to Amsterdam RAI railway station, but there was a need to connect to central Amsterdam. The southern segment (Zuidtak) connecting to Weesp railway station became operational in 1993. In 1995, with the completion of the Westtak, direct movement became possible from Schiphol to Amsterdam Centraal. The Ringspoorbaan was also used for handling traffic to the south. However, with the opening of the Utrechtboog (U ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Railway Stations On The Zuidtak Ringspoorbaan
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 faciliti ...
