A depot full of locomotives

German, Polish and Austrian steam locomotives stand alongside Dutch diesels. Compare the drive system, wheels and maintenance access, and ask which machines are operational.

Carriages and goods wagons

Balcony carriages, Blokkendozen and international sleeping and dining cars show different ways of travelling. Look at the entrance, compartment and function.

Combining the ride and the depot

On green and blue running days, the stop usually allows about 55 minutes for the museum station. Other colours have their own timetable.

Before you go

No fixed weekly schedule. No trains run on calendar days without a colour; event days can bring different access and crowds.
