Every now and then you come across disused rails in MeinWeg Nat`l Park.

There have been no trains running here since 1991, so the line could then be shut down.

The Netherlands is dismantling the railway infrastructure of the Iron Rhine in the "De Meinweg" area. All level crossings between Herkenbosch and Vlodrop are currently being removed, track elements on both sides of the paths and roads are being removed, and the rails are being cut free. Admittedly, if a train ever runs again on the Iron Rhine in this section, it will certainly not be on the old rails from 1966.
