Train Cab Ride NL / Complete Shift! / Rhenen and Enschede! / SNG / VIRM / ICM / June 2025

Open full description for timestamps and more!

Hi everyone! On many many request I finally recorded a full shift for you all. Years ago I did this with a short shift in Noord-Holland. But today we'll travel from Amsterdam to Rhenen, Utrecht, Enschede, back to Utrecht and Amsterdam in a 5.5 hour video! Make sure to take a break every now and then like I also did in between the rides. Have fun! :D
