That is a rather famous track, unofficially called the "Million Guilder Line", as its construction had cost a million guilders per kilometer in 1925. It was built to transport coal from the South Limburg mines. After the mines were closed in the seventies, parts of the line closed and the remnants are mainly a tourist attraction these days.

Joris Ivens made a film about the construction in 1925:
