NS Diesel loco Rh 2200 TpIII.
The diesel-electric, four-axle bogie locomotives of the series 2200 of the Dutch State Railroad NS shaped the time of the traction change from steam to diesel locomotives in their procurement years from 1955 to 1958. Together with the 2400 series, 280 copies were put into service. With their one-sided end driver's cabs and the long front end, the machines embodied an American design. However, the NS machines were manufactured exclusively by Western European companies. The 100 km / h locomotives could not only be used in freight train and shunting services, but were also used in front of passenger trains. In front of heavy ore trains, up to four locomotives of the 900 hp machines were sometimes used in multiple traction.
