For most people, Roelofarendsveen is known for the traffic jams on the A4, near Leiden. For the connoisseurs it will be known that nowadays the high speed line between Rotterdam and Amsterdam enters the Groenehart tunnel not far from Roelofarendsveen. However, the village has also known other times. Without a motorway and with a train connection that is functional for Roelofarendsveen, operated by the HESM, between Leiden and Hoofddorp.
However, this train connection and the associated buildings and other infrastructure had a short life. Because although solidly built for life around 1912, the station building was already demolished in 1938.
