NS Class 1300

The Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Class 1300 was a Dutch locomotive in service for 48 years from 1952 until 2000.

After being in service for less than a year 1303 was damaged beyond repair when it collided with EMU 642 at Weesp on June 19, 1953.

During the 1980s the entire Class 1300 got prolonging maintenance and were painted yellow, with a big NS logo at the side.

Also, the locos were all named after a Dutch city: In 2000 the last locomotives were withdrawn from service.

Late 2018 it was repaired by replacing a few traction motors and since then it is deployed by the Fairtrains foundation for occasional transfers.
