This steam locomotive with the name 'Nestor' was built in 1879 in Germany for a Dutch railway company.

The 'Nestor' was in 1939 taken out of service because of the approaching WWII. At the end of WWII she was heavily damaged by German troops. After the termination of WWII she was completely repaired and resumed service until 1964.

She's now in the Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht now, where this image was taken on June 1st, 2019.

This image is also my entry for this SNATM-theme (🎥) (The General, a 1926/1927 silent comedy film with Buster Keaton).

If Buster Keaton was in the movie, it had to be good SEA.
If you had been a landlubber, I could imagine you being an engineer.
I just love this old locomotives. Your photo does it justice.
Perfect for the SNATM collection. 👍👍
