Pim's Photos: Dutch Railway Museum 2022

Image
 In 2022 I went to the Railway Museum in Utrecht and made a lot of photos. I never quite managed to upload these properly so here they are.  The new Sprinter we used to get there NS 1300 locomotive. For a while the most powerful Dutch electric locomotive! Long Mat'64 Snake SGM, the original Sprinter! When this picture was taken where they taken out of service only a year earlier! NS 1700. A few of these are still in service pulling the Intercity to berlin The head of the Mat'64 Snake Control cab for the former Benelux train from Amsterdam to Brussel I think these are Plan E coaches? Mat'54, the well known "Hondenkop"(Dog's head) I admit that my knowledge regarding Dutch steam is somewhat limited Former motorized inspection vehicle A cautionary tale in preservation. This vehicle is presumably the only thing that remains of the former North Brabantian and German Railway Company Hand powered inspection vehicle Leave it to us to turn a bike into a rail inspection
