Signal Post and Haps Station
The signal is green—full steam ahead! At this spot, right by the grassy field, once stood Haps Station.
The signal is green—full steam ahead! At this spot, right by the grassy field, once stood Haps Station. The station building was demolished in 1991. Today, only the signal post and a short piece of track remain as reminders of that history.
In the winter of 1926, the tracks a bit further down were submerged due to flooding. The train that arrived at Haps Station couldn’t continue. Since there was no turntable here, it had to reverse. But by then, the bridge over the Lage Raam had also flooded—and collapsed as the train crossed it. The first carriage ended up in the river.
All passengers were shaken and cold, but alive. Fortunately!
