The Haarlem-Zandvoort Spoorweg Maatschappij (HZSM) was the first local railway company in the Netherlands, founded on November 29, 1880, in Amsterdam. This company built the Haarlem - Zandvoort railway, which was opened on June 3, 1881.
In Haarlem, the HZSM had its own Haarlem Bolwerk station, just in front of the junction where the railway lines from Zandvoort, Uitgeest and Rotterdam converge. From the opening in 1881 the trains continued to the HSM station Haarlem, with a few through trains to Amsterdam in the summers of 1882, 1883, 1887 and 1888. Haarlem Bolwerk station was closed in 1886 and demolished in 1905. On June 1, 1889, the HZSM was taken over by the HSM.
HZSM No.1 "Haarlem"
The HZSM had four locomotives of the NS 7600 series (Haarlem, Overveen, Zandvoort and Rudolph Sulzbach), 15 carriages and two vans. The locomotives were built in 1881 (the first three) and 1882 (the fourth) by Borsig in Berlin. The carriages were built by Maschinenbau-AG Nürnberg in Nuremberg and the goods vans by Van der Zypen & Charlier in Deutz. After the railway was taken over by the HSM in 1889, the locomotives and rollingstock remained in the ownership of the HZSM, who loaned them to the HSM. In 1898 the locomotives and rollingstock was transferred to the HSM, which sold the locomotives on to the Ahaus-Enscheder Eisenbahn Gesellschaft in 1903. The carriages have undergone various renovations at both the HZSM and the HSM, due to changed needs for the various classes and space for luggage in the trains.

However, the first plan for a railroad in the Netherlands was launched only shortly after the first railroad opened in Britain.

The NS 1600 was a series of steam engines of the Dutch national railways, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), and its predecessors Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS), Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (HSM) and Nederlandsche Rhijnspoorweg-Maatschappij (NRS).
The NS 5300 class were the first of this class in The Netherlands, in fact the NRS employed the first passenger service tender locomotives with this type. The Westinghouse brake system was a first for the NRS; the additional hand brake was common. To obtain a stable ride at high speeds, inside cylinders were employed. The firebox was situated between the coupled axles. The front and rear axles were of the Webb type, already employed by the London North Western Railway. The radial axle boxes were produced with very fine tolerances. Rubber bumpers were employed to move the axle back into position.
The HSM 190 - 193 were a class of four 1'B steam locomotives build by Borsig for the Hollandsche Spoorweg Maatschappij in 1888. The locomotives were named as was typical for the HSM.

Van der Gaag Lane was a short privately-owned road south of Delft in the Netherlands, notable for being the subject of a frog war between property developer A.H.J. van Wickevoort Crommelin and the operator of the Netherlands' first railway, Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij. The lane was purchased from the innkeeper J. van der Gaag in 1845 to serve as a holdout property, whose sole purpose was to block the construction of the Rotterdam-Hague railway in retaliation for the rail operator's refusal to add to the earlier Haarlem-Leiden line a train station that would serve Zandvoort, a town which van Wickevoort Crommelin was intent on promoting as a seaside resort. After a drawn-out expropriation process that took almost two years and failed to acquire the land, the railway company finally completed the line with a sharp bend around Crommelin's road, which served for only five days before the landowner caved to legal pressure and gave the land to the railway company for free.
