The Miljoenenlijn takes the museum for a ride through the landscape

From Station Simpelveld, steam train, railbus, platform museum and workshop link railway heritage with a ride through the Heuvelland and Parkstad.

Plan your visit ↗

The station comes before departure

Look at the customs inspection hall (visitatiezaal), the platform and the timetable, and ask which functions belonged to cross-border traffic. Arrive well before your chosen train.

Rolling stock speaks

Compare the steam locomotive and the railbus in terms of drive, sound and operation. Follow safety instructions and stay within the accessible parts of the vehicles.

The workshop keeps heritage alive

Maintenance makes running possible. Ask which locomotive is being overhauled and which work is carried out by volunteers.

Before you go

No fixed weekly timetable. Trains run according to the seasonal calendar, usually at weekends and on extra days during holidays. Check the exact running day, departure time, route, ticket and accessibility on miljoenenlijn.nl. Special trips such as the Kerst Expres have their own conditions.
