On this day the train runs between Stadskanaal and Veendam according to the timetable below.

Day of the Special Rail Vehicles

Did you know that there are many more vehicles that use the track to travel on? Not just the locomotive you already know from before our train, but also some very special vehicles! Today is all about these unique rail vehicles. You can see them all in Stadskanaal and even take a ride on most of them!

Many of these devices are so-called Draisines: light, simple rail vehicles that were once intended for track inspections and to move maintenance personnel to their positions. Most are powered by human power, some by a small engine.
