Test ride for 193 348 at Valburg on 8 October 2026. In 2025 two DB Cargo Vectrons, 193 347 and 348 were deployed om automatic train operation (ATO) between Valburg CUP and Meteren. The driver was present, but did not drive the locos. In 2026, this programme was upped to test complete freight trains and their weight is being increased gradually.

RailExperts 9904 basks in the Sunlight at Amersfoort on 1 August 2026. That day, about 250 railway photographers watched the final test ride of Blokkendoos 9107 (that turned out to be a complete succes). The arrival of two ex-NS 1600/1800s in the guise of Rail Adventure 9903 and RXP 9904 added tot the joy.

Ex-DB 23 076 stands at Loenen on 5 September 2026 during the yearly held train bonanza  Terug naar Toen  (Back to Yonder)-this photo was shot from 'my' steam train from Beekbergen. Three examples of Class 023 have been saved in the Netherlands and are in fully operational condition. Thanks to their maximum  speed of 110 km/h they can be used on main line running specials, albeit being rostered in as quasi freights, since passenger trains are much faster, where freights mostly run with speeds up to 120 km/h.

The decoration on the kettle's   dooor of VSM 44 1593 is a wink to the fact, that in the 100th year of ex-DRG Class 44 only one 44 in Western Europe is inoperational condition and that that one is outside Germany! VSM 44 1593 readies herself with one of the many steam shuttle trains to/from Loenen at Beekbergen on 5 September2026 during the  Terug naar Toen   steam train bonanza.

VSM 2412 stands in front of the brand new loco shed at Loenen on 5 September 2025 during the Terug-naar-Toen train bonanza. The loco shed was completed just a month before the TnT opened. The ex-NS 2412 and het Plan D coach show the brief spell of turquise hauled passenger Diesel trains with NS from 1951-1954. In 1954 Diesel locos of the series 2200 and 2400 were repainted brown and hauled stock turned into Prussian blue  -reputedly because dirt was less visible on darker colours.

Ex-NS, now VSM 2233 banks one of the each 45 minutes operating shuttle trains between Beekbergen and Loenen out of Loenen during the annual Terug-naar-Toen train bonanza. Diesel passenger trains in the netherlands have almostalways been operated by DMUs; Diesel loco haulage being very rare; onlyin the proximity of Winterswijk and Zevenaar a few peak hour trains were loco hauled. The passenger stock on this train is the hauled versionof Mat'24 Blokkendoos and VSM each year does a very fine job inrecreating the few Diesel loco hauled trains fromthe past -in combination with German Einheitsdampfloks or GDR ReKos.

After two decades of restauration,. NSM's  own Blokkendoos (Brick's Box) 9107 entered the Dutch railway tracks on 1 August 2026 with a test ride between Amersfoort and Apeldoorn (twice). The test rides were a complete succes and here the Blokkendoos 9107 has ended her first ride to and from Apeldoorn.

A Giraffe on the tracks! On 4 October 2026 HSL 1508 -since 2025  carrying this interesting Giraffe design- made a rare appearance on the Betuweroute freight artery and is seen here at Valburg. Since HSL 1508 normally  shunts in the Rotterdam port area, such outings are quite a rarity.

RXP 9904 stands at Amersfoort on 1August 2026. This loco entered service in 1983 as NS 1618 and became Railogix 1618. Railogix gave 1618 this colour scheme that leaned to the SNCF Multiservice colours albeit with a red ventilation grille instead of the grey. In 2026 RailExperts -who organised special raiwlay journeys and decided to buy their own traffic after the demise of LOCON Benelux- bought the 1618 and restored her in full working condition,for now retaining the Railogiox colours.
