Spoorijzer


Spoorijzer N.V., or shortened SIJ for NV Spoorwegmaterieel en IJzerconstructie, was a narrow gauge railway manufacturer in Delft, Netherlands.

History

The company was set up on 4 November 1912 as J.C. Goudriaan's Industrie- en Exportmaatschappij.
The company built in the 1950s approximately 100 "Rail Tractors" which were commonly used in brick factories to replace horses. In total about 160 narrow rail locomotives were built. The last remaining SIJ buildings were closed after several re-organisations in 1977.
