(ID 44036)

Nasty photo conditions on Breda on 10 September 2016 with SSN's 65 018 banking a steam shuttle as part of the celebrations of the formal opening of the completely rebuild station of Breda.

A very special occasion at geldermalsen took place on 23 April 2003. SSN decided to send a passenger train and a photo freight (with the 65 018 seen here) into the Betuwe via a single track line to give the many passengers a ride near the Betuweroute freight artery which was then build. Sadly, the SSN planners did not take into account that that very day, ebngineering works on Tiel--Elst made any ride on the single line impossible. So the trains were cut short at Geldermalsen and to give the passengers (and coincidentally viewers like your photographer) yet a good day, both trains were given a photo session at Geldermalsen.

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. SSN 23 023 hauls the fifth and last steam train of the day out of Dieren to Loenen and Beekbergen. Each year SSN locos are guests with the Terug naar Toen Weekend of the VSM -and when the SSN at Rotterdam have their steam weekend in October, VSM sends steamers of her own -in all respects, the relation between SSN and VSM is a warm one! 
