De Stoom Stichting Nederland reed met de 01 1075 een lange rit door Nederland, ter ere van de derde editie van Den Bosch onder Stoom. Vanuit het depot in Rotterdam reed de SSN 01 1075 via Breda en Tilburg naar Den Bosch. Daar gingen de passagiers aan boord en ging de reis verder via Utrecht, Amersfoort, Apeldoorn, Deventer, Zutphen, Dieren, Arnhem, Nijmegen, Wijchen en Oss, om weer uit te komen in Den Bosch.
Daar stapten alle passagiers uit en ging de 01 1075, na water te hebben gehaald, weer met een lege trein via Tilburg en Breda naar het depot in Rotterdam.
Hier is de 01 1075 te zien bij het vertrek uit Den Bosch.

Seen at Bradford interchange working service 630 to Tyresal, this driver opened his window and called me a bus wanker as he drove past.
Everyone of us has or will travel this road.
When the wind kicks up, the road will be covered with snow, creating one of the loneliest feeling there is. You have no idea where the edge of the road ends and where that dangerous ditch begins, as you hope to use those telephone line poles as a reference.
And when, as in this image, dusk is approaching and you know the night will be pitch black and the poles themselves will disappear from sight. Your headlights only extend as far as the blowing snow in front of you, and then the prayers begin.
You glimpse an occasional light of a farmhouse, and realize that you know how future interstellar space travelers will feel - exactly as you do now, with a loneliness only tempered by distant lights to turn to in search of a helping hand in case something really goes bad.
At times, as if a prayer is answered, an angel appears in front of you in the form of a driver familiar with the twists and turns of the road and whose auto's tail lights guide you, and you breathe another prayer of thanks as you follow those lights.
And so this journey is ending with a prayer, a prayer that when in your darkest hour that angel is sent to provide guidance, and that you are given the wisdom and strength to seek those lights, those people who can really help.
And prayers for June and Angie Royer and family on their journey.
Press L please.

The driver, like his car, is marked by time;
