Without further major incidents, the line was completed in 1847 when it reached Rotterdam (the Delftsche Poort railway station, which was located to the east of the current location of the Rotterdam Centraal railway station) [REF].
A few other minor railway companies started operation in this period, such as the Aachen-Maastricht Spoorweg Maatschappij (who built a railroad from Maastricht to Aachen) and the Belgian 'Grand Central Belge' who built a few lines in the border region.
