Children's Railway (Efteling)

The Children’s Railway is a pedal train attraction in the Efteling amusement park.

[1] The track was introduced in 1954 under the name Pedal Trains (Dutch: Traptreintjes) in the northern section of the park.

The concept was developed by Peter Reijnders, who wanted to create a world where children could ride through, including a farm with corn fields, a pond, the railway station The Blue Heron (Dutch: de Blauwe Reiger) and a level crossing.

The original braking system in the station caused quite some accidents as it was quite abrupt.

[citation needed] In 2000 the ride was moved to the eastern side of the ornamental pond and renamed Children Railway (Dutch: Kinderspoor)
