    The Aachen-Maastricht railway was opened in 1853 by the Prussian Aachen-Maastrich Railway Company (AMEG) and its Dutch sister company of the same name, Aken-Maastrichtsche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (AMSM). It was the first Dutch route to go abroad and was used to transport people and goods.
    The line was closed and partially dismantled in 1992.
    This part of the old route has been used by the Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij museum railway since 1995.
    In Simpelveld you can board the museum railways at the train station.

    In the photo from the bridge you can also see part of the West Wall from World War II.

      Very overgrown in August. No more tracks to be seen.

        The west wall is also present here.
