Railways, estates and their owners (1832-1914) After several decades of private initiatives, the Dutch government took more control of the construction of railways from the 1860s. The north and east of the Netherlands became accessible with these State lines. The first route, between Arnhem and Zutphen, was opened in 1865. The necessary land was acquired amicably or expropriated. The location of estates was usually not an important factor in the choice of railway routes. They were therefore regularly cut through. Each estate owner had his own opinion on the railway construction and personal motives determined whether a cooperative or militant attitude was taken. The construction of railways affected the daily life of the estate owners and led to legal, economic and spatial changes. But above all, the railways marked the transition to a new era.", }
