The Sauwerd–Roodeschool railway is a railway line in the Netherlands running from Sauwerd to Roodeschool, passing through Winsum, Warffum and Uithuizen. The line was opened in 1893.[1] Although the railway originally started in Sauwerd, train services have always started and terminated in Groningen. At 28 March 2018, an extra branch from Roodeschool to Eemshaven was opened.
On the early morning of July 15, 1980 a severe accident took place between Winsum and Sauwerd. A train from Groningen left Sauwerd with a few minutes delay, the traffic controller asked the train to Groningen to wait for the train from Groningen to arrive at Winsum, but the traindriver didn't wait. Both trains collided just outside Winsum, killing 9 and injuring 21.
