Rh 2200 red NS IV + DSS PluX22

Diesel locomotive Rh 2200 NS Ep. IV, with red flashing light and L light. The diesel-electric, four-axle bogie locomotives of the 2200 series of the Dutch State Railways NS characterized the period of traction change from steam locomotives to diesel locomotives in their procurement years from 1955 to 1958. Together with the series 2400 280 copies were put into service. With their one-sided Endführerständen and the long stems, the machines embodied an American design. However, the NS machines were manufactured exclusively by Western European companies. The 100 km / h locomotives could be used not only in freight train and shunting service, but were also used with pleasure before passenger trains. In front of heavy snowdrifts, up to four locomotives in multiple traction were sometimes used by the 900 hp machines.
