The Utrecht–Rotterdam railway is a heavily used railway line in the Netherlands running from Utrecht to Rotterdam passing through Gouda. The line was opened between 1855 and 1858. The western terminus was originally the Rotterdam Maas station. In 1899 a connection with the Rotterdam Delftse Poort station (the present Rotterdam Centraal station) was made. In 1953 a new line was opened between Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel and Rotterdam Centraal; the now obsolete Maas station was closed.
