Spoorwegmuseum Waterhuizen, Railway museum in Waterhuizen, Netherlands.

The museum occupies a former signalman's house along State Railway Line B, displaying railway equipment, uniforms, signs, and historical train parts.

Founded in 1971 by Riekje Buivenga-Arends, the museum operated until January 2014, when health issues led to its closure following her passing.

The collection includes a Mat '54 train, DE-2 locomotive, Sik 354 shunting engine, and three preserved wagons that represent Dutch railway heritage.

The museum premises contain a fully furnished emergency station and original railway tracks in the garden, allowing visitors to examine railway infrastructure.

Train drivers regularly acknowledged the museum by sounding their whistles when passing, creating a connection between active railways and preserved history.
