Back To Then
Each year, on the first weekend of September, the "Back to Then" (Dutch: Terug naar Toen) event is held, using everything that will run. Usually a number of guest locomotives appear as well.
The last run on Saturday used to be the highlight of the event until this year, originating in Apeldoorn. The train was pushed and pulled by all operational steam locomotives. In 2005 and 2006 that was 10 (!) engines and a number of carriages.
