Company film from 1918 about the Dutch train maufacturer 'Werkspoor'. Around 1920, with companies such as Beijnes, Allan and Werkspoor, the Netherlands had a reasonably flourishing railway industry. Werkspoor was the largest producer of railway equipment. The company had two factories, in Amsterdam and Utrecht, where locomotives, trains, carriages and railway bridges were made. In this short corporate film Werkspoor shows its products and production process. Credits: Eye Filmmuseum

Report of the visit of Adolph Zuckor, the president of the Paramount movie company, to Amsterdam. This short report shows how Zuckor arrives at Amsterdam Central Station to depart from there with an international train. The Pullman wagons of the Wagons-Lits are clearly recognizable, so he probably took the international train in the direction Paris. Credits: Eye Filmmuseum
