Hilversum–Lunetten Railway
The Hilversum–Lunetten railway is a railway in the Netherlands opened in 1874 and running from Hilversum station to Utrecht Centraal. Trains of the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij were initially running from Hilversum to Utrecht Lunetten, also serving Utrecht Biltstraat (demolished in 1961) and Utrecht Maliebaan; since 1939, all trains coming from Hilversum are going to Utrecht Centraal via a connection with the Utrecht–Kampen railway. It connects the Amsterdam–Zutphen with the Amsterdam–Arnhem railway.Netverklaring ProRail 2013 (v1.4; bijlage 13 en 14) 23 May 2013. Dutch.

Railway Museum (Netherlands)
The Railway Museum ( nl, Het Spoorwegmuseum) in Utrecht is the Dutch national railway museum. It was established in 1927 and since 1954 has been housed in the former Maliebaan station. History The museum was established in 1927 and was initially located in one of the main buildings of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch National Railway) in Utrecht. At that time, the collection consisted mostly of pictures, documents, and small objects. In the 1930s the first steps were taken to conserve old historically significant rail equipment. A portion of this collection was lost during World War II. Maliebaan station The collection was briefly located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, but in the 1950s the museum was moved back to Utrecht. Maliebaan station, which had been closed in 1939, was found to be a suitable site. The building was remodeled, and in 1954 the museum reopened there. In this location there was far more room to exhibit the entire collection to the public, including histor ...

Railway Lines In Utrecht (province)
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 Track (rail transport), 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 Railroad tie, sleepers (ties) set in track ballast, 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 friction, frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The rail transport operations, operation is carried out by a ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

It passes through the cities of Hilversum, Amersfoort and Apeldoorn. It is also informally called the ''Oosterspoorweg'' (English: Eastern railway), with the part between Amsterdam and Amersfoort sometimes being called the ''Gooilijn'' (Gooi line) because of the region it runs through. History The railway between Amsterdam and Amersfoort was opened by the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij in 1874 with the Amersfoort–Zutphen section opening in 1876. It was intended as an alternative connection between Amsterdam and the German border and competed with the Staatsspoor-run Amsterdam–Arnhem railway (''Rhijnspoorweg'').
