Former Veghel Station

The tracks are still there, there's a sign with the name, and some foundations are visible. But beyond that, you'll need to use your imagination to picture a station once standing here. Yet it truly existed—Veghel Station, part of the so-called Duits Lijntje (German Line). The building was demolished in the 1960s. The white house on the corner of the street is still standing; it used to be a railway employee residence. Across from it was the coffeehouse, where travelers enjoyed a warm drink before or after their journey by train. It was a fine place—though the murder of the stationmaster in February 1904 did temporarily cast a dark shadow over the station.
