A tram line Hoogstraten - Meersel-Dreef - Rijsbergen was taken into use in 1899 and was closed in 1942. But if you now follow the Oude Tramweg in the direction of Meerle, you will come across an old cast-iron tram bridge at the Mark, the St. Joost Brug . The cattle that were imported from the Netherlands into Belgium with the tram line were brought over that tram bridge to the quarantine stables in the hamlet of Strijbeek. After all, the cattle had to remain in quarantine for 40 days to check whether they were healthy.
