The car was part of a series of tank cars for internal transport of the Staatsmijnen (SM) and originally had the number 10402 there. Later it was admitted to the main network of NS and was given the new number NS 515615 P (P from private person, so no NS property). In 2008, the all-black car was given the inscription Staatsmijnen - Creosote Oil in large letters in the railway museum. Creosote was used, among other things, to impregnate wooden sleepers.

The museum currently owns a large and varied collection of rolling stock. Open goods wagon NS 59221 GTMK preserved at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022. Thousands of 20-tonne wooden open wagons of the GTM type have been built, mainly intended for the transport of coal from the mines in Limburg to customers throughout the Netherlands and abroad. They were built between 1912 and 1930. Car 59221 belonged to the subseries 58501 - 59360, of which the 58861 - 59360 were built by Westwaggon in Cologne. From 1938, steel cars came into vogue. For decades, long coal trains were the face of the railroads from the south to the west and north. With the disappearance of coal as domestic fuel, the long freight trains also disappeared and all but one of the wooden wagons were demolished in the 1960s. This car, then downgraded to a service car with the number NS 161190 for internal use, was provided with new woodwork by the fa Jansen in Bergen op Zoom in 1990 and renumbered into NS 59221 with the not entirely correct type designation G.T.M.K. At the beginning of 2016, an overhaul of the woodwork was started, during which the planks were properly secured, the car was repainted and the correct inscriptions were applied, i.e. with the type designation GTMK. G = open wagon T = tipable (hinged headboards made it possible for the contents of the wagon to be dumped into ships by tipping longitudinally) M = load capacity 20 tons or more K = fitted with Kunze-Knorr freight train brake Photo by Guido Allieri (guido@allieri.com)

The museum currently owns a large and varied collection of rolling stock. Open goods wagon NS 65248 GTUW preserved at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022. This all-steel type was developed in 1938 by Werkspoor in collaboration with NS. Compared to the older wooden wagons, the payload was increased by 8 tons to 28 tons. With 4 doors on each side instead of 2, the unloading time was considerably reduced. Because of the U-shaped frames, the car type was given the name GTU. (G = open, T = tippable). Cars with a Knorr brake system were designated GTUK, those with a Westinghouse brake GTUW, without an automatic brake remained the GTU. More than 5000 cars of this type were made. The 65248 was the last car of this type to enter the Railway Museum in 1989. In early 2020, the car was completely blasted, painted and fitted with a new floor.

The museum currently owns a large and varied collection of rolling stock. Cattle wagon SS 3517 FO preserved at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022. During the construction of wagon 3517, the network of the State Railways was still divided into a Noordernet above the line Arnhem - Zwolle, including this railway, and a Zuidernet below the line Arnhem, Utrecht, Rotterdam, excluding the railway Rotterdam - Utrecht - Arnhem, which was operated by the Nederlandsche Rhijn-Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NRS). The car 3517 FO was built for the Noordernet of the SS. At the merger in 1921 of the then still existing railway companies, the car was already taken out of service and reserved for a future railway museum. In 1953 the Railway Museum was given the former Maliebaan station as its own accommodation, where an outdoor museum was realized at the front of the yard. Here the car found a modest place. The designation FO stands for cattle truck (F) with a floor area of 15 m2 (O). The wagon is the oldest freight wagon that has been preserved in the Netherlands and is partly a masterpiece of the collection. Photo by Guido Allieri (guido@allieri.com)
