Eerbeek Gelderland Netherlands 4th June 2023

I get a stare from the driver of ex-DB Class 23 2-6-2 23071 as we stood in Eekbeek station prior to the engine running round. It was just a quick footplate visit and this shot was taken from the fireman's seat with the firehole & hotplate in the foreground.

The VSM (Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschapij) runs from Apeldoorn to Dieren but on this day the train terminated at Eerbeek. In June trains run only on Sundays and there is only one round trip.
