Looking for an Atlas or map of all historic Netherlands railways

[NS Peak]

Hello,

 

I am trying to find out information about all the railways past and present in the Netherlands, and was wondering if there was an equivalent of a railway atlas?  The Netherlands like many other countries has a rich railway past and I was trying to find out more about some of the historic lines that existed.

 

can anyone recommend any reading material that could help?

 

Thanks

I do not know this book myself:

https://www.treinwebshop.nl/product/atlas-van-de-verdwenen-spoorlijnen-in-nederland/

 

but it has a very good review here (I hope google will translate for you):

https://historiek.net/atlas-van-verdwenen-spoorlijnen-in-nederland/135956/

I can also recommend the book Overzicht van de Nederlandse spoor- en tramwegbedrijven (Overview of Dutch Rail and Tramway Companies, fourth edition) which provides an overview of all rail and tramway companies in the Netherlands, including opening and closing dates and a number of maps. Please see the site of the publisher for further details.

Just new is the website https://spoortijdlijn.nl/. At the moment only main lines and a couple of local railways are shown, but apparently the builder of the website is planning to add more local railways.

 

Regards,

Kees

If you’d like a good general history in English, I can recommend Augustus J. Veenendaal Railways in the Netherlands: A Brief History, 1834-1994.

You might find this website Sporenplan Online useful. It has track-plans of many Dutch stations and other countries too; beware you can lose yourself for hours in there.
