History
Before World War II, Rotterdam did not have a central railway station - instead there were four stations in and around the city centre:

Rotterdam Delftsche Poort: for westbound trains towards Schiedam, Den Haag HS and Amsterdam CS and eastbound trains towards Dordrecht
Rotterdam Beurs: towards Dordrecht, connected to Delftsche Poort
Rotterdam Maas: terminus for eastbound trains to Gouda and Utrecht
Rotterdam Hofplein: terminus for the Hofpleinlijn, an alternative line to Den Haag HS, also going to Scheveningen.
