Track gauge 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ) standard gauge The NS Mat '64 or Materieel '64 were electric multiple units (EMU) built by Werkspoor and later by Duewag and Waggonfabrik Talbot between 1961 and 1976.
The dominant gauge for industrial lines was 700 mm (2 ft 3 + 9 ⁄ 16 in), contrary to the 600 mm (1 ft 11 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) gauge used in neighbouring countries. Nowadays, much of this industrial rail heritage is preserved in museums or in theme parks , such as the Efteling Steam Train Company .
