Trains - Netherlands (up to 1940): Books - History

Books on the history, locomotives and other rolling stock of the NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) and other railway companies in the Netherlands up to 1940.

Spoor van mensen - Mensen op en rond het spoor in Nederland toen en nu

In this Dutch railway book, the focus is not on locomotives, trains, carriages, stations, workshops, signalling systems or level crossings, but on people. The people who design, build and maintain them, the people who have their workplace there, the people who make the equipment run, the people who are transported in it, the people who are involved in it in one way or another. Without people, there would be no trains.

For that reason, this book does not contain a single photo in which people are missing. In fact, they are more or less indispensable in all situations shown, indispensable. They all pass by: drivers and conductors, passengers, station personnel, signal box keepers, fitters, track workers, emergency workers at accidents, builders and demolishers, and not to forget dignitaries.
Captured in images from the very beginning in 1839 to the present day, the human history of the railways in the Netherlands. Living images of the times, tracks of people.
