The Utrecht–Rotterdam railway is a heavily used railway in the Netherlands, running from Utrecht to Rotterdam, passing through Woerden and Gouda.
The western terminus was originally the Rotterdam Maas station.
In 1899, a connection with the Rotterdam Delftse Poort station (the present Rotterdam Centraal station) was made.
In 1953 a new line was opened between Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel station and Rotterdam Centraal station; the now obsolete Maas station was closed.
