List of railway lines in the Netherlands


The Netherlands has a rail network approximately 2,800 kilometres (1,700 mi) in length. Three quarters of it is electrified, one third is single track.

In the Netherlands, the railway lines are built only in standard gauge, apart from a few narrow gauge industrial railways.

The list on this page is not to be confused with the list on the Train routes in the Netherlands page. The former list focuses on the railway lines in the Netherlands, and the latter list focuses on the routes taken by trains travelling on those railway lines.

In contrast with the motorways in the Netherlands, and the railway lines in Belgium, the railway lines in the Netherlands are not identified by line numbers. For that reason, the lines listed below are named simply by reference to the names of their terminii.

The railways in the following list have been closed and demolished:
