Abandoned Railways of the Netherlands

Opened in 1910 and closed in 1935. Run by the OLDO. Although there were plans to extend the railway to Hoogeveen, which would likely have made the line much more appealing, this did not happen and the line remained unprofitable until closure. The remains of the line are generally well visible, with many buildings still standing and the route being easily traceable via maps/satellite views.
