The Maaslijn is the railway connection between Nijmegen and Roermond in the Netherlands. With about 22,000 passengers per day, it is the busiest regional railway in Limburg and one of the busiest in the country. From 2024 to 2028, the operator Arriva Nederland is working to make the Maaslijn more reliable and sustainable. The provinces of Limburg, Noord-Brabant and Gelderland and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management have decided to electrify the Maaslijn together with ProRail.

Mit dem Rückbau der Feldversuchsanlage auf Gleis 2 im Bahnhof Opfikon endete am 8. Juni 2026 die Ära unserer Deckenstromschiene des Typs CR1. Die Anlage war seit 1989 in Betrieb und befand sich auch nach rund 37 Jahren noch in gutem Zustand.

We have replaced the existing catenary system in the Vereina Tunnel and at the RhB loading stations with a rigid overhead conductor rail system. The retrofit was carried out under live operating conditions - exclusively during nightly closures.

In these turbulent times, reliability, continuity, and mutual respect are more important than ever. We are particularly grateful for relationships that are based on these qualities – whether in our cooperation or in our daily communication.
