Description
History
Westdijk used to be a smaller town with a double track connection to Rossum. This can be seen from the different architecture used in the station building and the houses behind it.
Track troubles
During the 2. World War, raw resources such as steel were scarce, and with the Axis Powers looking to expand their ever increasing war machine, the track between Westdijk and Rossum was made into a single track section, due to the rails being made out of steel. Decrepit remnants of the old double track, mainly being the sleepers, still lie there, showing the connection's history.
Trivia
- Westdijk is based on Velsen Zeeweg
