Tramabri

The tramabri was built around 1910 together with three identical shelters. The bus shelter was located at the place where the tram track crosses Heerenweg. The client for the guardhouse was NV Tramweg Wieringen - Schagen. The organization entered into an operating agreement with the Hollandse Spoorweg Maatschappij. Shared use was acquired by the Stoomtram Maatschappij West-Friesland for the Schagen - Barsingerhorn section, which had been part of the Schagen to Hoorn tram line since 1898. At Barsingerhorn, the tram line of NV Tramweg Wieringen - Schagen split off and went on its own track in the direction of Wieringerwaard and the terminus of Van Ewijcksluis, from where a connecting ferry service with the island of Wieringen was maintained. The tram line was opened on March 1, 1912. It was closed in 1936. The shelter was thoroughly restored around 2000, with the material for the most part being renewed. The track is no longer there. The trace/railway is still visible in the landscape near the restored building and in other places.
