Dear Dutch members and other eurorail experts.....
I have a few days in the Netherlands (Western Amsterdam) this week, and I was wondering if there was anywhere nearby to view (and photograph) interesting freight services?
I'll be based near Rembrandt park, so Lelylaan is my local NS station, but I have a OV chippenkart and I'm prepared to travel anywhere within about an hour's travel time if there's anything interesting to see.
Also, I'm aware of treinposities.nl, but is there an equivalent that would let me track freight services?
Hartelijk bedankt!
Also, another question.....on my last visit at the end of July, I'm pretty sure I saw two gronks (class 08 shunters) on an engineering train for the remodelling works at Amsterdam Zuid. Are they ex UK locos? And where are they usually stabled please?
Dank u wel!
