Treni - Paesi Bassi (fino al 1945): libri illustrati di storia e guide

25 Jaar regionale spoorlijnen in beeld

Nel 1998, Oostnet ha rilevato il servizio ferroviario tra Almelo e Mariënberg, segnando la prima volta che una linea regionale è stata gestita da una compagnia diversa da NS. Da allora, diversi nuovi operatori hanno avviato servizi su molte linee e sono diventati essenziali per il trasporto pubblico olandese.

Questo rappresenta un capitolo importante nella storia del trasporto ferroviario. Il libro offre una panoramica degli sviluppi delle linee regionali nei Paesi Bassi negli ultimi 25 anni. Con numerose illustrazioni e fotografie, offre una visione sia visiva che testuale dei cambiamenti avvenuti dal 1998 al 2023.

Hummel Hummel-Zügen en zo: de zoektocht naar het in de Tweede Wereldoorlog weggevoerde spoorwegmaterieel

Even before the liberation of the Netherlands North of the major rivers, it was clear that the occupying forces had systematically, structurally and on a large scale removed the most diverse goods from the Netherlands.
Approximately 90% of these were removed from the country after the start of Operation Market Garden and the railway strike on 17 September 1944. During that period, the Germans plundered many factories and the railways, but also evacuated cities and villages, such as Arnhem.
Against this background, the Dutch government established the Commissariat-General for Dutch Economic Interests in Germany in April 1945, which was tasked with tracing and returning removed goods and promoting the economic interests of the Netherlands in Germany.

This book tells the story of the search that took place in the period 1945 to 1951 for the deported property of the Dutch Railways and the associated exchange of (mainly) German railway equipment captured in the Netherlands or left behind.
The book also discusses the railway equipment that was not returned and left behind in the GDR, Poland and other Eastern European countries, about which more and more has become known since the fall of the Berlin Wall. This is supported by many photos and overviews.

De Nederlandse Spoorwegen in oorlogstijd 1939-1945 - Rijden voor Vaderland en Vijand

On 17 September 1944, the Dutch Railway Strike began. On the orders of the government in exile, more than 30, 000 people on the Dutch Railways stopped working. In this way, they hoped to support the Allied offensive towards Arnhem, known as Operation Market Garden.

In the first week of the strike, the Germans were seriously hampered by the lack of rail transport, but later they managed to regain some control over the supply of equipment and personnel with their own people.
Market Garden largely failed, but the strike continued. Financing the strike, by continuing to pay the salaries of railway workers in hiding, was a huge operation that was successfully completed thanks to the largest bank robbery in Dutch history.

In this book, Guus Veenendaal (former company historian of the Dutch Railways) and David Barnouw (historian, previously affiliated with the NIOD as a researcher) describe the run-up to the strike, the strike itself, but also the image of the strike after the liberation.
Dirk Mulder (director of the Westerbork Camp Memorial Center) writes about the transport by rail of Jews, Roma, prisoners of war and other groups on behalf of the Germans.

Amsterdam - Utrecht: Van Rhijnspoor tot Randstadspoor

Almost everyone knows that the first train in the Netherlands ran between Amsterdam and Haarlem (1839), but on paper the so-called Rhijnspoorweg between Amsterdam and Cologne was the first railway line in the Netherlands. Due to lack of finances, the first stage of the Rhijnspoorweg between Amsterdam and Utrecht was not opened until December 1843.
Over the years, the line has been rebuilt and relocated many times, with the major expansions being the major railway works in Amsterdam and Utrecht in the 1930s, the symbiosis with the Amsterdam metro and the four-track system around the year 2000.

Today, this railway line is one of the busiest routes in the Netherlands. Michiel ten Broek and Victor Lansink take you on a journey through time along this fascinating railway line due to the many changes, using many historical and atmospheric illustrations.

Also featured are high-profile stations such as Amsterdam Amstel, Duivendrecht, Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena and Utrecht Centraal, as well as vanished stations such as Amsterdam Weesperpoort and Nieuwersluis.
