Railway Stations In The Netherlands
There are currently 399 railway stations in the Netherlands including four which are used only during special events and one which serves the National Railway Museum only. NS Stations is the body which manages and owns all railway stations in the Netherlands. Categories Stations are divided into two categories based upon the service they receive. These are, in order of decreasing importance: * Intercity stations, where usually all trains (except, in some cases, international services) call. * The remaining stations, where only local trains (''Sprinters'') call. There are exceptions to this categorization. Some local trains – despite being called ''stoptreinen'' – do not stop at all stations: two examples are the services from Groningen to Roodeschool and from Tiel to Arnhem. On the route diagrams printed at the top of station departure sheets, intercity stations are indicated by the letters IC. ProRail classifies stations into five categories based upon the facilitie ...

Railway Station
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 facilit ...
