My question was: I found this photo in an old album. I wonder what this is. Such a strange vehicle. WHO KNOWS? I suppose this photo is made in Amsterdam, Holland.
Before c. 1950.
I got a lot of answers! See all the comments.
Flickr. member Herman van den Bossche - see comments here - found a picture from 1922 elsewhere! www.hdks.nl/HTML/2008/Derny/index.htm It is special built for races with bikes staying right behind it. Poor cyclist! And the wooden background is recognised too. The place were these competitions were kept!
Probably this photo is made before 1915.
(I recently inherited four fat albums with old photographs, coming from a dear aunt that became very old. Only sometimes there is some description and date written in these albums. I found this old photo there. It seems a pity to throw this picture away. Other pictures are people, parties etc. Some pictures are around 1880/1900, I think. These were the pictures my aunt inherited herself. Most of the pictures are period 1900/1990. Almost sure this is a member of my family. The face is not so recognisable).

Then, in a blur, here's my train! Smokin'.
Good things come to those who wait.
In all the worst of ways, this train is solar powered. True! The chemical energy in the coal making that smoke is sunshine captured in the Permian geological period, hundreds of millions of years ago. The big deal is that all of that energy is going back into the atmosphere so much quicker than it was captured and stored. That's COâ‚‚ we could really do without.
I want to challenge our politicians: make our trains truly solar powered. The first mechanised trains burnt coal. The one that made me wait was powered by oil. Take a trip to Europe. All the trains are electric. In Norway, the trains even use regenerative braking to push energy back into the grid. Come on! If you truly are bothered by anthropogenic climate change AND energy security to support your lauded economic credentials, get our trains running on sunshine. Don't babble about day and night: not interested. Wind, photovoltaic and pumped hydro are all sources of energy from the Sun. Use it.
Working most weekends means that I have limited access to operational steam these days, so when the rare opportunity arises with a steam engine operating locally on a day when I'm actually off, Something would be amiss for me not to go and see

Ed Gibson on Train Orders commented:
Those 1500 (later 1900) class 2-6-2T's are favorites of mine. I would estimate that this photo was recorded at about the turn of the 20th Century Portland vicinity, where the locos performed pre-electrification suburban duties. Others, like 1903 (still extant as #1903 at CA State RR Museum) performed like chores in Oakland before also being displaced by electrification. The 1501, like several of her siblings, was converted to an 0-6-2 (MW 577) and served as the Sparks Shops switcher until the mid-1930's. In 1947, sister 1502 (by then MW 571) retired from three decades at Ogden Shops as the last ex Central Pacific locomotive in service on SP Lines. The info comes from Diebert & Strapac's Compendium.
