Hilversum–Lunetten railway

The Hilversum–Lunetten railway is a railway in the Netherlands opened in 1874 and running from Hilversum station to Utrecht Centraal.

Trains of the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij were initially running from Hilversum to Utrecht Lunetten, also serving Utrecht Biltstraat (demolished in 1961) and Utrecht Maliebaan; since 1939, all trains coming from Hilversum are going to Utrecht Centraal via a connection with the Utrecht–Kampen railway.

[1][2] The railway was electrified between 1941 and 1942.

Utrecht Maliebaan became the national railway museum in 1954 and the Maliebaan–Lunetten part of the railway became a bicycle path in 2017.

Lunetten station is still in use, however nowadays being located further south on the Utrecht–Boxtel railway.
