"The Lost Train"
"In the days before the war ended, the Nazis began destroying evidence of concentration camps - including sites and documentation - and transporting prisoners to other locations within Germany.
It was at this time, as Mirjam was travelling through Germany in 1945 on one of three trains that had departed from the camp at Bergen-Belsen, that she recalls the moment she was freed."
I have posted this because it contains quite interesting details of the operation/ role of the trains , and that the Netherland Railways are offering compensation for their part in running them .
Whilst I know this article contains other material , lets keep our discussion focused on Railway related matters.

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
