VSM's 23 076 enters Oss with a steam shuttle to Nijmegen from 's-Hertogenbosch on 28 September 2024.

(ID 52882)


VSM's  23 076 enters Oss with a steam shuttle to Nijmegen from 's-Hertogenbosch on 28 September 2024. Hobbyist organisation Het Stoomgenootschap tries to organise each year a day of steam shuttles between their home town 's-Hertogenbosch and another city. For 2024 Nijmegen was chosen and four steam shuttles were planned for Saturday 28 September 2024. Sadly, due to several circumstances, one had to be cancelled due to suffering del;ays between 60 minutes an two hours!
The first steam shuttle from 's-Hertogenbosch was planned to run thourgh Oss toward Nijmegen, but was literally sidelined instead, adding to the delay, but giving photographers at Oss some more opportunities to take pictures. Here, VSM's  50 307 stands at Oss with the first steam shuttle of the day to get sidelined in order to let the massively delayed normal trains continue their journeys. For VSM's  50 307 it was the first performance on the main line since her extensive rebuild back to 50 307 from ReKo condition (as 50 3564).

After ten years of restauration, ZLSM, ex VSM 52 532 is active again sincs May 2026. Here she stands at Schin op Geul on 19 August 2026 before a fully loaded steam train to Simpelveld. This train arrived 20 minutes earlier from Simpelveld, so a quick run round of the old steamer was on order -and performed perfectly.

It is Saturday 5 September 2026 and the first saturday of September and that means the VSM train bonanza  Terug naar Toen  (Back to Yonder) that sees every hour a steam train between the VSM's head quartes Beekbergen and Apeldoorn (connecting to the national railways network); five steam trains to Dieren (connecting with the national railways network) and every 45 minutes a steam train to and from Loenen. Ex-DR  ReKo 50 3654 -including some socialists flagging- passes a score (indeed 20+!) photographers near Lieren with a train from Loenen that will end at nearby Beekbergen.

At Beekbergen ex-DR ReKo 52 8139 just arrived with the hourly steam shuttle from Apeldoorn. Here, the loco willuncouple and get fresh coal and water, whilst another steamer will set herself atthe other end of the train for the return job.
