1109 These Nederlandse Spoorwegen 60 strong 1100 class locomotives date from 1950 and were based upon the SNCF Class BB 8100 design. They were extensively rebuilt between 1978 and 1982., They operated on both freight and passenger turns, and were the NS main locomotive until the arrival of Class 1600's., Unfortunately they were very unpopular to a point of being downright hated by the drivers for a number of reasons, and they were paid a special bonus for driving them., Here is 1109 seen at Rotterdam Centraal, the last of the class was withdrawn in 1999, although many were out of service before then., , , 26th October 1986,
