Once upon a time - The Netherlands - Uithoorn

Electric 5-units 812 (Mat 40) put out of service and waiting to be hauled to a scrap dealer (Koek from Mijdrecht) on the so called: 'Haarlemmermeerlijn' (railway network in the Harlem lake polder). A remaining part of it still in service for goods and funeral trips for trains, it didn't last long. Today there're no more railway lines in the Polder exempt the line from Amsterdam (Haarlemmermeer Station) via Aalsmeer to Bovenkerk and in use as a heritage tramway (EMA - Electric Museum tram line Amsterdam).
