NS 2200 Coal Train
A coal train with an NS 2200 series diesel engine in gray-yellow livery.
To replace the steam engines that were still in service in the 1950s, the NS placed an order for 2200 and 2400 series diesel engines. The first 2200 series engines came into service in 1955 in the then used brown color scheme. They were mainly used for heavy cargo trains and could be used in a multiple-unit configuration of up to 4. For safety reasons when shunting near crossings, all engines were fitted with roatating beacons in the late 1960s. In the 1970s the NS adopted a new color scheme, consisting of gray and yellow. The last 2200s were in service in 2003.
