@PolarFurreal I agree! Infrastructure is definitely important, especially if the country is built below sea level. Side effects is that we also get beautiful and functional cities! Well... maybe not Lelystad.
Goedenavond allemaal!
We are here at the Deltawerken, specifically the Oosterscheldekering, the second longest dam of the delta works!
Standing at 9 kilometers long it serves as one of the flood protection barriers of the low lying lands of Zeeland!

First laid down in 1976 and opened in 1986, such an engineering marvel is now recognized as one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.
As the saying goes: "God created the world, but the Dutch made the Netherlands."
Monday is here and so another journey through the week starts. The railway dog will do his best to keep his train running on time. ☺️
Since I'm going to Italy as I post this, I'd like to point out that the Polish Pendolino ED250 series has a very typical Italian cab and control layout design as the original design has been manufactured by Alstom at the factory in Savigliano, Italy. 🚄🇮🇹🇵🇱

Welcome to Aalborg Lufthavn Station!
Here we have the DSB IC3. Part of the larger DSB Class MF, this consist runs as an InterCity with 3 carriages hence the name! The Class MF also has an InterRegional in a 4 carriage that runs on electric instead of diesel!
#FursuitFriday
Neat fun fact about the Class MF, despite the two trainsets running on different traction modes, diesel mechanical and electric, they both are able to combine to form one large consist with a passthrough! No wonder these trains are the backbone of DSB!
@DANNYonPC If I were to say, Groningen would be my favourite big station. The architecture and the feel of the station is amazing.
But for small stations, Kampen Zuid would be mine, yes it is a small nothing station but the streets adjacent to it are named after trains!
Previously known as the Kippenlijn (Chicken line) it was taken over in 2006 by Connexxion from Nederlandse Spoorwegen. In that same year Connexxion made the Protos specially for the line, 6 trains were commissioned and are currently only found on the valleilijn!
