Stoomtram Walcheren

Dutch steam tram (1906–1937)

The Stoomtram Walcheren was a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge steam tram that operated between Vlissingen and Domburg in the Netherlands, with a branch line from Koudekerke (where the depot was) to Middelburg. The tramway opened in 1906 and was closed in 1937, being replaced by bus services operated by the SW company, which changed its name to Streekvervoer Walcheren. The track was lifted but completely relaid by the German army during the occupation to aid the construction of defensive positions.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
