The Dutch Railways

The Dutch Railways consist of a network of some 2600km, of which 2000km is electrified with 1500V= overhead wire. The network used to be operated by NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen, Dutch Railways) but in recent years the "old" NS was split up and new operators appeared. Also NS does not own the infrastructure anymore.

This site is intended to provide an overview of the Dutch Railways in the English language. The main focus is on rolling stock (as this is my hobby) but also some information that might be interesting for the non-railfan traveller is available.
