The company existed until 1938, when it formally merged with the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (HSM) to form the Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

In the 19th century, the government constructed a number of state railroads, the ''staatslijnen'', to (major) cities and regions not yet served by the other railroads, but for which it was deemed important to connect them to the country's rail network. These lines were primarily located outside of the relatively densely populated Holland region, where the HSM ran services on the main lines. The SS was then founded as a private company to use these lines. In 1890 the SS began to use the lines previously run by the defunct Nederlandsche Rhijnspoorweg-Maats ...
