On 14 December 2024, VSM 50 307 stands in front of the six times daily Christmas-Express steam shuttle train at Arnhem Centraal. The weekend of 14/15 December 2024 VSM deployed six shuttle services with one train set, consisting of a dozen of coaches (from local two-axle wagons to luxurious dining cars) and a steam loco at each end. ON the evening of the 14th however, 50 307 took minor damages and the preservationist of the VSM decided to replace the grossOhr (Big Ear) with two Dutch 1950s Diesel locomotives.

Side view on 2530 at Nijmegen on 15 December 2024. The last of a 130-strong Class of Alsthom-build Diesel locomotives, 2530 was equipped with a raised cab (and lower bonnets) to improve the driver's  view. Due to the strong emphasis on electrification of the Dutch railways (that commenced from 1934 on and was only interrupted by WW-2) the 2530 remained a one-off. After service with the Netherlands State Railways NS she was sold to VSM that returned this loco into her pruple/lila colours, earning her the nickname Bisshop (at requests from the three Dutch southern provinces Gelderland, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, these being staunchly Roman Catholic in the 1950s and 1960s).

On 2 December 2020 ELL/NSR 193 766 calls at Deventer with the IC-Berlijn. These trains were hauled by NS Class 1700s, but in 2020 the first Vectrons were deployed in revenue-earning service as test. After succesfully completing the test phase, NS Reizigers leased up to twelve Vectrons from ELL and supplanted the CLass 1700s with these three-phase current machines that received a yellow with blue paint job.

On a cold 14 January 2021 NS 186 222 calls at Tilburg -the last train to Eindhoven that day. Less than an hour later almost every city and town in the Netherlands exploded into fierce rioting due to the lack of understanding for safety measures concerning world-wide pandemics.

In for the long haul: Stichting CREW 2454 bought this 99 years old electric rail car Mat'24 Blokkendoos C-9002 'JAAP' from a defunct preservationists' society that went bankrupt. The new owner, already in posession of some very fine restored items, took no half measures and deployed JAAP on a series of test rides of increasing lengths. The last test ride was on 16 April 2023 and took the 9002 from Roosendaal via Tilburg, Nijmegen, Zwolle and Groningen back to Roosendaal -via Amersfoort, Utrecht and Breda. Roosendaal-Groningen is about the longest ride a train can make in the Netherlands and was an ideal close of the test programme. Here, C-9002 stands at Nijmegen, where she had some minor maintenance before departing for the long haul. Since thereis not yet a category 'historic EMUs' I put this one into Stations-Gelderland.
