| |  | | The
Moerdijk Railway Bridge is the longest railway bridge in the Netherlands.
It spans the borders of the Hollands Diep. |
| |  | | It
is the first obstacle the traveler has to take when travelling from the
south to the Randstad, the economic heart of the Netherlands. |
| |  | | The
trafic on the bridge is very dense. |
| |  | | The
second obstacle the north-bound trains have to conquer is the Dordtse Kil.
Here another railway bridge helps to solve the problem. |
| | 
| | It is a lift bridge, that can be passed by large ships on the busy waterway. |
| | 
| | In
Rotterdam finally, the old railway bridge can remain in the 'high' position
since trains nowadays cross the river Maas in a tunnel. |
