The semi-circular overhead line supports are a clear give away, the Betuwelijn seems to be the only railroad in the world that has them.
I actually never spent more than a month at a time in Tiel. We got the house built in 1994, my wife lived in it for 2 years while I worked in Geneva. In 1996 I got headhunted and we both moved to the US, first to Boston and now for the last 12 years on Long Island. Not too bad, although the weather right now reminds me of Christmas in The Netherlands, i.e. rain! Mmm, just checked the weather forecast for Tiel, remarkably the same as for Long Island.
It should be better weather around Christmas, maybe I'll take Boxxie top down for a Christmas runabout. Last year there was too much salt on the roads already.
Merry Christmas!
