The Breda–Rotterdam railway is a heavily used railway line in the Netherlands running from Breda to Rotterdam, passing through Dordrecht.

It is also called the Staatslijn I ("state line I") in Dutch.

[1] The railway was opened in phases: Until 1872, transport between Moerdijk and Rotterdam was by ferry.

With the opening of the Willems Railway Tunnel [nl] in 1994, the Luchtspoor [nl] through the centre of Rotterdam became redundant.

The railway viaducts and the old Willems Railway Bridge [nl] over the Nieuwe Maas were subsequently demolished, leaving only the lifting bridge De Hef over the Koningshaven which has been preserved as an industrial heritage site.
