(1)Empty Stock Working - open to tour participants as an alternative to joining the tour at the official starting point of Beneluxhaven. (2) Booked route was to reverse in the sidings adjacent the Eindhoven line - local negotiations between driver and controller changed reversal point to the rarer single track connection to reverse on the Arnhem line. (3) Booked route was direct to Rotterdam Centraal. Local negotiations as the train was running 25 minutes early added the additional rare curves and reversal at Kleiweg to the itinerary on the day.   andy_pullar Username: andy_pullar Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2005 - 04:32 pm:    Train 2 16/09/90 Ij Docker.
