For the time being I have lost my notes concerning this train. I recall
-the EM2 being posed on a rake of freight wagons at Zaanstraat and an SNCB 1100 class loco
-a photo line of NS loco classes at Watergrafsmeer to which the EM2 was added.
-to release the loco at Lelystad Depot the train was taken to Watergrafsmeer by another loco ( possibly the SNCB 1100). The EM2 was attached to a rake of double deck stock and followed the tour stock to Watergrafsmeer after a photo opportunity at Almere CS.
-there may have been a 500 class loco haulage over a short distance at Zaanstraat.

I presume the trip on 22/07 already posted to the Railtour Files was Tour C in a series marking the end of service on NS.
