As part of Railway 200 we will be celebrating one of the biggest steam train events on the European mainland. This event takes place at the VSM in Beekbergen, the Netherlands. For an entire weekend, all operational steam locomotives of the VSM, along with a large number of guest locomotives, run an intensive timetable on the privately owned railway line of the VSM. See more than 10 steam locomotives operating across historic railway stations, beautiful forests, and farmlands.
The entire VSM is operated by over 200 volunteers who restore and maintain the locomotives, carriages, railway line, and more. The Terug naar Toen (Back in Time) event is the biggest event of the year. Besides many passenger trains, the VSM also operates a large number of freight trains during this weekend.
