Locomotive of the Stoomtram Hoorn-Medemblik.  Stoomtrams are interurban tramlines where the motive power was a steam engine.  Like tramlines signaling was not usually employed.  The couplers were also more tram-like.  A single centrally located buffer was used.  This locomotive now has train-style buffers, but the orginal buffer is still in place in the middle.  Picture taken in Medemblik 27 September 1997.
