Rotterdam Lloyd Rapide, locomotive 2131, Rotterdam, April 1929 (J. Yvanjer, coll. van Wijck-Jurriaanse)
The steamers of the Rotterdam Lloyd and of the S.M. Nederland connected Holland with its most important colony, now Indonesia. Though mail already earlier was transported by rail, only in 1927 appeared the Rotterdam Lloyd Rapide Rotterdam - Marseille and in 1928 the Nederland-Express Den Haag - Cologne Sued - Basle - Genova S.L. via Gotthard, initially with coaches, a Mitropa diner to Basle, CIWL sleepers Basle - Genova and a CIWL diner Milan - Genova. Even in 1940 the trains did run, now both by CIWL and via the Mont Cenis line to Genova. Then they were stopped for ever.
