Antwerp-Roosendaal line (L12), seen at the level-crossing with Grensstraat.
Pic looks North, towards Roosendaal.
Belgian OHLE extends into Dutch territory, until the very end of that siding further left, slightly beyond that white house.
At this stage, trains still run on the left-hand track, until the station of Roosendaal, where the changeover is due. Pre-electrification (1957), that changeover would take place between the station of Essen and this level-crossing, which restricted speed to 40km/h.
Grensstraat (Gemeente Essen, BE; Nispen, Gemeente Roosendaal, NL) [Roosendaal Frontière].
