Hogesnelheidslijn Zuid / HSL Zuid, a new high speed line between Schiphol and Belgium, the picture is taken at Lage Zwaluwe looking south. The new line is a decicated high speed line, that parallels the existing rail line most of the way, also here at Lage Zwaluwe. The opening of the line has been delayed due to problems with the ERTMS-system, and due to problems with the trains bought to operate the line. But finally it opened in september 2009 with Thalys trains.
