TTR35-2 Our SHORT LINES journey to the harbor at Amsterdam continues! At Utrecht we take the freight only road around the east of the city past the National Railway Museum before regaining the main line towards Hilversum. North of Hilversum we are in the Amsterdam commuter area, and the 66 has to pick its way carefully through the traffic as we pass through the centre of Holland's largest city. Near the Central Station we pass a couple of ICEs inbound from and outbound to Frankfurt, before we pause to pick up our shunter who will help us when we get down to the docks. West of CS work is in full swing on the modernisation of the approaches, it won't be that long before this is part of the High Speed Line to Brussels and Paris and - perhaps- to the UK! Down at the docks Railion are preparing to depart with a massive coal train for the Ruhr, but we still have a little way go, as we must reverse through the harbour complex to reach the petroleum quays. We seem to have attracted the attention of Dutch enthusiasts as we are greeted by a positive gang of photographers. Our driver Chris Westerduin rewards them by pausing for a photocall in front of nice bed of daffodils thoughtfully planted by the port authority! A great day out! Very slightly edited for length.
