The railway history has left us an enormous treasure of technical and historical heritage. In many cases it is a real challenge, to re-use this heritage. The European Union has already acknowledged the interest of re-using this historical heritage. In 2013 the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage was awarded to the restoration of this railway track and the bridges located therein.
In the near future the goal of the SSG and FBL is, to create a cycle track from ‘s-Hertogenbosch to Moerdijk. This track would carry the name: “From the Moerputten to Moerdijk” and would enable the users of modern e-bikes, to cover greater distances by bike, rather than use the car.
In this way the former railway track of 46 kilometres would get a new destination, according to the renewed interest in cycling and walking and as a contribution to reducing of the pollution of our world.
