VolkerRail - The Netherlands
Nowadays track 1 in Tiel is hardly used. It has no passenger platform and freight traffic ceased operating over the Eastern Betuwelijn (Geldermalsen-Elst) some years ago. But now 8km of track is being replaced, and several road crossings and a few swiches at Kesteren. And track 1 is used by work trains!
A STRABAG ballast cleaning train hauled by VolkerRail locomotive 203-5, a former Eastern German (GDR) locomotive, arrives at Tiel from the Kesteren direction.
