Gatehouse 29

A small stretch of camouflage track and an information panel are what remind us here of the Duits Lijntje. Well, that's not entirely true—because further down the path you’ll find Gatehouse 29. These days, you can spend the night there: it’s now a bed & breakfast.

From this building, the railway guard once monitored the crossing that used to be here. He operated the barriers, signals, switches, and bridges.

Shortly after World War II, the railway briefly served a military purpose. Soldiers were transported by train to Volkel Air Base, where they trained to become marines before being deployed to Indonesia. This is roughly the spot where they disembarked.

So yes—this is truly a place packed with history.
