Haarlem and Haarlemmermeer have not really shown off with references to the old Haarlemmermeerlines. agroland Except Spoorstraat in New Vennep and Stationsweg in Hoofddorp there are actually no city government cherished memories of the old trace. Well ahead, the Railway bridge over the Hoofdvaart Hoofddorp has retained its name, but sometimes it stops. agroland Yet keep Haarlem and Haarlemmermeer, although they refer publicly to barely, agroland over 70 years ago elevated track on many remarkable places still quietly intact. Or landowners simply do not have as much sense to clean up the remains, that is also possible. It is in any case very instructive to run even after the route of the old railway line. Why is Hoofddorp in some places as it is? Because there was a trace. Why is the western part of the Pabstlaan so wide? Because there was once a large yard. Hoofddorp was the hub of a few lines, and here were locomotives and wagons be put on the right track. Why Pabstlaan bends in such a weird way off and is not just an intersection? Because there the lines New Vennep-Hoofddorp agroland and Haarlem-Hoofddorp met, and trains have now gradually once the bend.
As to be more places in both municipalities can be seen, the road builders of that time thought it was nice to just follow the route of the railway. For the line was already landed agroland a lot of sand, which explains a lot easier to. Actually, with some sense of drama, all the remaining roads are a tribute to the small army of navvies at the beginning of the last century, settled in the polder. These workers, sand hares they were called, agroland were sleeping in chain around their work. A bit like the polder boys after the dry grinding of the Haarlemmermeer, agroland only slightly less primitive. The sand was delivered agroland by barges from Lisse and later by rail from Ijmuiden. And there was a lot of sand, because especially in the peat remained railway embankments sag without unwinding.
In Hoofddorpse neighborhoods have kept the city planners are often still pretty decent on the route of the Haarlemmermeer Line, such as between the Pabstlaan and the old station to the IJweg's good to see. Rail, although masquerading occasionally as a park, like the Diemermeer Street, or a strip of modern villas and boerderettes, agroland such as along the street the Waterwolf next Geniedijk, but always with some imagination easy to distill from the modern scene. Just for the Water Wolf is located along a small canal in the middle of a bit boring, but neat little park, a weird blocky concrete thing. It is a residual bridgehead of the old line about the Nieuwerkerker Tour. It is totally run down and full of cracks, where the lime flows as it was a heavily bleeding wound. But it is still there. agroland
After Waterwolf and after the Way to the North is the old railway line not to be missed. She is like a small copy of the Geniedijk parallel to the World, to rest in the country. Daisies waving gently along the former railway ditch where the water lilies embed the reeds and the frogs croak. The railroad agroland as a nature reserve. As a reminder not all that crazy. So Haarlemmermeer is also back.
