(ID 50352)

VSM 2233 stands with a shuttle train at beekbergen on 3 September 2023 during the Terug naar Toen (Back to Beyond) steam bonanza.

Traditionally, the VSM hold each first full weekend in September their steam bonanza "Terug naar Toen" (Back to Beyond). Equally traditionally, Rotterdam-based SSN participates enthousiastically with at least two big steamers and a full train set.
Here, SSN's 23 023 is about to pass a score (litterally; there were about 20 folks, your correspondent being one of the pack) of enthousiasts whilst passing Lieren on 3 September 2023.

Not only the Kerst-Express steam special to Essen Hbf could be admired at Arnhem on a grey 17 December 2022, but also a steam shuttle that acted between Arnhem and Ede-Wageningen. Here, SSN's 23 023 hauls this steam shuttle 'Christmas Express' into Ede-Wageningen. 

With half an hour delay 011 075 hauls the first steam shuttle train for the Terug-naar-Toen steam bonanza into Dieren station. Here, the fastest steam locomotive in the Netherlands will run round and return with the -fully loaded- train to Beekbergen, head quarters of the VSM. 

On 21 April 2024, RXP 1251 hauls a special train into Haarlem with an SSN train, including steamer at the other end. Between Haarlem and Leiden the famous Keukenhof flower beds are sited and in April most flowers bloom, hence this train shuttled between the two cities to give the riders a nice view on the blooming flowers. The six trips were sold out within three hours. 
