Kamperlijntje
railway line
The Kamperlijntje is a railway in the Netherlands running since 10 May 1865 between the cities of Zwolle and Kampen in the province Overijssel. The most northern part of the Utrecht–Kampen railway (Centraalspoorweg), the 12 km long section now has three stations, two are its termini: Zwolle and Kampen, and an intermediate station, Zwolle Stadshagen. In the past, it had two more stations: Zwolle Veerallee (closed in 1969) and Mastenbroek (closed in 1933 and again in 1941). The journey between Zwolle and Kampen takes about ten minutes.
The line is operated by Keolis Nederland (with electric Stadler FLIRT trains departing twice an hour) and funded in part by the province of Overijssel and the municipalities of Zwolle and Kampen.
A new intermediary station, Zwolle Stadshagen, was initially scheduled to open in December 2017, but because of groundwork issues, its opening was postponed. It was finally opened on 15 December 2019.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kamperlijntje” as railway line. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as railway line. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q803558. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1865, 1969, 1933 and 1941.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
