The Series 1600 of the NS is a four-axle electric locomotive class from 1980 to 1983. It is based on the BB 7200 the French state railway SNCF asked and was first in 1981 at NS into service.
The 1600 series, part of the Nez cassés , was ordered in 1978 after various types of locomotives had been tested in the 1970s. One of these types was the SNCF's BB 7200, on which the 1600 series and its sister series 1700 are based. 58 series 1600 machines were delivered between 1981 and 1983. With their appearance, the series 1000 and 1500 were taken out of service.
The class 1600 is not only the most powerful, but also the most economical locomotive thanks to its electronic power monitoring system that has been in service with the Dutch State Railways to date (as of 2011).
When the freight transport division came to Railion in 1999 , the locomotives that were handed over kept their old numbers. The numbers of the locomotives that remained with NS were changed insofar as their second digits were increased from 6 to 8, i.e. from 1600 to 1800 .
The 1700 series is a modernized variant of the 1600 series. It differs from the 1600 series in that it uses more electronics, a newer version of the ATB train protection system (version 4 instead of 3) and a different braking system. The locomotives 1701–1731 have an automatic BSI compact coupling for use with DD-AR double-decker trains. Several locomotives of this series have already been taken out of service after they were replaced by mDDM railcars in use with double-deck cars. At the beginning of 2020, eight locomotives were still in service with the NS.
At the end of 2011 the locomotive with the number 1835 was sold to the Bentheimer Eisenbahn and bears the number BE-E01 there. The locomotives with the numbers 1827, 1831, 1834 and 1836 were sold to LOCON Benelux in 2011 , where they are in service under new numbers (9901–9902, 9904–9905). Locomotive 1832 went to HSL Logistik in 2012 .
The nine locomotives, which now belong to DB Cargo Nederland (formerly Railion), were gradually repainted in the DB color scheme traffic red in 2012 and received the DB emblem. Most of the locomotives were decommissioned in 2019, and the last one was parked on April 4, 2020.
On 19 February 1989, the locomotive pulling 1607 Vlissingen to 60 cars at that time the longest passenger train in the world, but this record was two years later - with 70 cars - by the Lok 2711 of the Belgian Railways broken.
