Evening before ‘Back to Then,’ Beekbergen, 1 Sept 2017

Some photography for a change! I volunteer at a heritage railway in the Netherlands, the Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). We maintain a fleet of 19 steam engines and more than 20 diesels. Every year, in the first weekend of September, we organise a big event/gala called ‘Back to Then.’ Every engine that can ride will be fired up, and together they pull passenger and goods trains all weekend long. An amazing event, full of steam and atmosphere... when you hear the locos wailing in the distance it feels like going back 50 or 100 years in time.

Here some Friday afternoon atmosphere. All engines (and their crew) prepare to ride out together, to a small station where they will spend the night. 64 sighs, and she isn’t the only one...
