    the Netherlands

    The Low Countries are very familiar with the nostalgic steam trains. The large number of specimens still in good condition and in motion, and the many original railways prove this immediately. The million-dollar line in Limburg is a gem and the steam locomotive on the Apeldoorn-Dieren route literally takes us back in time. The Railway Museum also brings the rich train history of the Netherlands to life. This steam train journey will show you the Netherlands from a very surprising perspective.
