After a period of testing between Utrecht and Maarn, new trial runs with HHPI 29008 were performed between the Kijfhoek Shunting Yard and Uitgeest yesterday. Rens Bloom sighted the machine passing through the flower fields of Noordwijkerhout.
Today, the locomotive departed from Kijfhoek again around 09:30 for a trip to Almelo and back. Henk Zwoferink captured the loco on camera when it passed the town of Rijssen (see images below). It has been indicated that the locomotive will be transported back to Antwerp tomorrow.
