Ivan goes Train spotting
Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2005 1:13 pmSurprise... trains on show at the nearest town (Alkmaar)
Star of the day: BR23 23-071 operated by the 'Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij' (http://www.stoomtrein.org). This one drove between Alkmaar and the next town
First run of the day... started 30 minutes late because the water was too cold and they just filled the locomotive. The weather was still good at that time
As the weather got worse (rain, snow)... the performance of my crappy camera went downhill.But still loads of smoke and stuff.
'Hondekop' on show, both diesel (red one) and electric (green one). The blue-and-white one is a regular commuter train
This huge diesel locomotive was used to haul the steam train back after it's short trip (it wasn't possible to turn the locomotive around at the stops)
