Atlas van de verdwenen spoorlijnen in Nederland (5e geactualiseerde druk)

In the 1930s, the Dutch Railways were forced to close and dismantle hundreds of kilometres of passenger railways or downgrade them to a marginal freight railway. The cold restructuring of the 1960s and 1970s often put a definitive end to the latter category. Among other things, this piece of history about the railways in the Netherlands is described in the "Atlas of the disappeared railways in the Netherlands".

A railway line never disappears completely. Due to the extensive infrastructure, there are always remnants. Two experts have systematically investigated dozens of defunct railway lines in the Netherlands and visualized the remains.
They have also tracked down archive material and images from the past, which gives history even more relief. A concise history of the rise and fall of these railway lines completes this book.
