Trein van de Staatsspoorwegen op het spoor in de heuvels van Gelderland before 1915

This anonymous photograph, taken before 1915, depicts a steam train traveling through the Gelderland hills of the Netherlands. The image, a snapshot of the State Railway, showcases the landscape of the region as the train ascends a gradient. The monochrome tones and documentary style capture the moment in time, reflecting the early days of the Dutch railway system. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the essential role that railroads played in transportation and industrialization.
