National Steam Train day means that all the old trains are huffing and puffing pulling old-fashoined passenger cars. The train I chose to take started in Appeldoorn, then to Loenen with 2 intermediate stops. The train first ran in 1887 hauling logs to the paper mills. It became a passenger service later. Now it runs in the summer for tourists. There are several other lines which run in the summer - Medemblik to Hoorn in the north,  Goes in the south west, and the Millionaire Line in the mountains of Limburg.
