context_page_description: The Apeldoorn–Zwolle railway was a railway in the Netherlands connecting Apeldoorn, Gelderland with Zwolle, Overijssel. The railway was constructed by the Royal Netherlands Railway Company and opened between 1887 and 1889. The railway soon earned the nickname Baron Line, thanks to the number of nobles living along the line. The railway was closed in 1950 and largely demolished in the 1970s.
context_section_description: Many recognizable objects have survived the demolition of the railway line. In Apeldoorn, two connection curves are now in use as footpaths and several homes of signalmen are still standing. Outside of Apeldoorn, almost the entire railway is converted into bike paths.
