In for the long haul: Stichting CREW 2454 bought this 99 years old electric rail car Mat'24 Blokkendoos C-9002 'JAAP' from a defunct preservationists' society that went bankrupt. The new owner, already in posession of some very fine restored items, took no half measures and deployed JAAP on a series of test rides of increasing lengths. The last test ride was on 16 April 2023 and took the 9002 from Roosendaal via Tilburg, Nijmegen, Zwolle and Groningen back to Roosendaal -via Amersfoort, Utrecht and Breda. Roosendaal-Groningen is about the longest ride a train can make in the Netherlands and was an ideal close of the test programme. Here, C-9002 stands at Nijmegen, where she had some minor maintenance before departing for the long haul. Since thereis not yet a category 'historic EMUs' I put this one into Stations-Gelderland.

On a grey 4 January 2025 NS 4220 stands at Amersfoort in what will be her last year of service. After 45 years of performing yeoman service, ICM (EMUs) and ICR (hauled coaches) will be withdrawn within a year from Dutch tracks. Leonardus Schrijvers
