Stoomtram Walcheren
Stoomtram Walcheren was a steam tram in the Netherlands, built to run on a 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge. It operated between Vlissingen and Domburg, with a branch from Koudekerke (where the depot was) to Middelburg.
The line opened in 1906 and closed in 1937, when bus services run by the SW company began. SW later became Streekvervoer Walcheren. After closing, the track was lifted, but the German army relaid it during the occupation to help build defensive positions.
Five enclosed 0-4-0 Hohenzollern steam locomotives powered the line. Allan supplied the coaches (the longest in the Netherlands) and the goods stock.
Today, no rolling stock survives. Some parts of the old line remain: the Director's House and enginemen's cottages in Koudekerke, the old station building, and the street named Tramstraat. The Middelburg bus station sits on the site of the loop and quayside sidings, and the Tramzicht cafe in Domburg overlooks the former terminus site on Stationsstraat.
