I'm on long-term sick leave for a while now. I kinda miss the view from the front of the train. Luckily, sometimes I can just sit next to a befriended colleague and make a nice photo like this one, taken yesterday

For the record: this wasn't my fault. 😄 This should never ever be done: an Arriva GTW accidentally coupled with an NS VIRM. The VIRM doesn't mind, but the GTW can't handle the 110 volts that's in the electric box of a VIRM coupling.

Photo sent to me by a colleague. Taken in Heerlen at the shunting yard.

Rarely seen: a Stadler FLIRT at Utrecht Central 😄 but here it is, and as seen from my cab even! (And don't ask me why. Sometimes suddenly stock never used on this line makes its appearance) #stadlerflirt #utrechtcentral #utrecht #netherlands #nederlandsespoorwegen #cabview #traindriver #ns #railway

"There is currently no departure information available." Because gotta do something with that wide-ass bigscreen... #utrecht #utrechtcentraal #utrechtcentral #railwaystation #ns #nederlandsespoorwegen #railway #train #railwaystation #traindriver #netherlands
