On my way back, I'm having another stopover in Schiphol, this time even colder weather
The sky is magic in the winter
Flying over the North Sea
It's cold in Europe today; there is even snow in the Netherlands. But this time, I have prepared better. In Italy, I purchased a thermal base layer top and bottom so I can keep myself warm.
Betuweroute is still closed, or actually, the German part of Hollandstrecke is under reconstruction, so all freight trains are re-routed through Venlo and Breda. Here I am at Dordrecht Zuid spotting 193 829
Many trains are using this line today

189 036 and 189 049

Full activity here at Lage Zwaluwe. There are trains on the main line as well as the ones connecting the harbour in Moerdijk
The small village Lage Zwaluwe is located 6km from the station and can be reached by bus
Brand new Vectron, 193 797
A red signal is ahead so I can examine the locomotive closely. It looks like it is made for services in East Europe. This locomotive can travel all the way from the Netherlands to Romania.
ERTMS is supported
It is a single-track operation due to some problems ahead. Many passenger trains are canceled right now. But the freights are still rolling
Train drivers are taking a break
The problem is resolved, more trains are now on the way
