NSHispeed - The Netherlands
Evacuation test of the "Groene Hart Tunnel" on the new HSL-Zuid high-speed line
between Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam) and Rotterdam.
The test train consisted of TRAXX locomotive E 186 113 and former "Benelux"
coaches slightly rebuilt and painted in the NSHispeed livery. Such trains will
be used for the first services on the HSL-Zuid Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Breda/Brussels
until the new trainsets ordered from Ansaldo(I) will arrive.
