This is not a double traction.

(ID 56227)

After having been hauled by an RFO electric from Bad Bentheim, CD Cargo 383 015 Frantisek Ringhoffer II got to work againg at Amersfoort on 22 NOvember 2025 and is about to depart from Amersfoort

Plan V 904 of 2454CREW stands ready at Amersfoort on 22 NOvember 2025 to start a great roundabout trip for the sponsors, that bought out the tickets for this extra ride within an hour.

This is not a double traction. On 22 November 2025 CD Cargo 383 015 decided she had done enough for the day on departure from Bad Bentheim in Germany for the ride to Beverwijk Tata Steel and so the rather decrepid RFO 1831 was rushed onto the train for the ride in the Netherlands. Almost all freights from Bad Bentheim pause for about half an hour at Amersfoort and here CD Cargo decided she will go on after all. She has raised a pantograph to test and diagnose the technical failure and solve it, with RFO 1831 still on the train just in case. This gave at Amersfoort a colourfull train which seems in double traction.

Rail Experts 9901 -ex-LOCON 9901- hauls a hisatoric EMUs, flanked by two box wagons, through Wijchen toward Maastricht for maintenance on the EMU and passes through Wijchen on 10 NOvember 2019. During LOCON days, eight former NS Class 1600/1800 carried this nice livery and after LOCON-Benelux' downfall some electrics that were bought by RXP and RFO continued to carry this livery. But in 2026, RXP 9901 is the only locomotive remaining with this livery. 

On 18 July 2016, LOCON 9902 stands with an extra train in 's-Hertogenbosch. Less than a year later, LOCON-Benelux will be bankrupt. 
