Newsreels in which Dutch subjects of a certain week are presented.
After the war the railways in the Netherlands found themselves in a poor state and they immediately started with the restoration. The electrification of the Dutch railway network thereby primarily aimed at restoring the prewar situation. Thereafter, there was also worked on further expansion. The lines Zwolle-Leeuwarden and Meppel-Groningen are added to the already existing electrified lines. An electric train, carrying management of the Dutch Railways and invitees, makes the first official ride on the new lines.
