The Railway Museum (Dutch: Het Spoorwegmuseum) in Utrecht is the Dutch National Railway Museum.
It was established in 1927 and since 1954 has been housed in the former Maliebaan station. The museum currently owns a large and varied collection of rolling stock.

Control car NS 28 101 with 80 seats was delivered in 1986 and then served in the 'Benelux trains' Amsterdam - The Hague - Rotterdam - Roosendaal - Antwerp - Brussels v.v. These trains consisted of a Belgian electric locomotive, a carriage 1st class, a carriage combined 1st and 2nd class, two fully 2nd class carriages, a 2nd class carriage with kitchen and luggage compartment and finally a 2nd class control car. The locomotive could be controlled remotely from this carriage, so that the train could also drive 'backwards' at full speed. Incidentally, this was only possible with the Belgian locomotives of the series SNCB 1181 - 1188.

From 2008, the locomotives that were now economically obsolete were replaced by new locomotives, which, however, could not be operated remotely from a control car. Because the seating capacity could not be missed, the control cars temporarily remained in service as normal pulled cars. In 2010, after the influx of converted Intercity carriages, they became redundant after all, so that the Railway Museum was able to acquire one.
The carriage is in principle serviceable, but cannot be used as a control car due to the lack of an accompanying Belgian locomotive.
