To become carbon neutral by 2030 AND carbon positive by 2032, Dutch theme park ‘Efteling’ plans to transform its steam trains from coal to electric.
Working with ‘Alan Keef Ltd’, a UK based railway engineering company. The look of the steam trains will not change, but show effects (e.g steam) will be added to enhance these much-loved trains.
Patrick Keef, MD of Aland Keef Ltd said:
“We are greatly looking forward to putting our many years’ of experience and passion to work on this wonderful project at Efteling”
“It really is a special undertaking, where we can put our extensive experience in electrifying trains to good use.
“Of course, we will undertake this with a keen awareness of the historical value and uniqueness of the steam trains. And ensuring that whatever we remove is preserved for its historical value.”
