At great expense, the track gauge was reduced in 1866 to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) in order to conform to George Stephenson's standard gauge.[1] The train engine "De Snelheid" was the twin of the Amsterdam "Arend", which along with the carriages, were designed by Stephenson's apprentice, the English rail engineer Thomas Longridge Gooch of R.B. Longridge & Co.[1] There were 4 trains per day to Amsterdam, scheduled at 9:00, 14:00, 16:00, and 18:00. The prices of the tickets for 1st (closed carriage), 2nd, and 3rd class (charabanc) were 1.20, 80c, and 40c (guilders).[1]
1842 neo-classical station by F.W. Conrad.
Within a few years the new railway turned out to be a great success, and in 1842 a permanent station was built on the current location. It was designed by Frederick Willem Conrad[2] in a semi-Greek neo-classicistic style. The front of the building was open to the street.
Mouthaan
In 1867 the station was re-designed by P.J. Mouthaan.[3] An extra floor was put on the building and the front of the building was enclosed.
Current station
The current building was built between 1906 and 1908. The design is by the railway station specialist Dirk Margadant (1849-1915). The tracks were elevated, to avoid conflict with the traffic in the city. It is the only train station in the Netherlands that is built in Art Nouveau style.

Gallery
1900s decoration depicting the history of the Amsterdam-Haarlem train route from the trekschuit to carriageway along the haarlemmertrekvaart.
In this commemorative tile tablet for Beijnes, now in the Spoorwegmuseum, the old Beijnes factory across from the Haarlem station can be seen, that was built in the same style as the station itself in 1867. The Beijnes hall and workshop was situated across from the station, and is where the train locomotives were serviced and where the train and tram carriages were made.
Waiting room first class; the cow-catchers depicted on the train engines are historically inaccurate and were never found on Dutch train engines.
1939 tile memorial plaque celebrating 100 years of railway history shows accurate early engine on the left.
