The first rail connection in Kraayenstein was the WSM steam trolley. Den Haag Lijnbaan - Loosduinen was the first section to open in 1882. Tram line 2 runs along Lippe Biesterfeldweg since 1983. The depot, track and station were all located near what is now Lippe Biesterfeldweg. The former WSM headquarters is still standing at the corner of Loosduinse Hoofdstraat. Kraayensteinlaan is near the Lippe Biesterfeldweg. In 1888 a branch to Kijkduin was opened. It lasted until 1928. Tramstraat is a reminder of this. In 1883, the line Loosduinen-Poeldijk-Naaldwijk was opened (later extended to Delft & Maassluis), and later that year Poeldijk-'s-Gravezande (later extended to Hoek van Holland). The line from Margaretha van Henebergweg to Escamplaan ran parallel, but at a distance, behind the houses. However, nothing remains of it. Also, there were auction tracks. Trams run now on Margaretha van Henebergweg but only between Zichtenburg Depot and Kraayensteinlaan Loop. Loosduinen - Den Haag was discontinued in 1932. In 1932, the WSM network had already discontinued passenger transport. However, goods trains continued to run in the area up until 1968.
