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.

Small Diesel-Hydraulic shunter NS 137 preserved at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022.

For the general history of the series 103 - 152 see locomotive 103 of the museum.

NS also put locomotive 137 out of service in 1947 or '48. The lmt was then sold to the Kon. Ned. Blast Furnaces and Steel Factories in Beverwijk.
Apparently the machine was transferred to the Motorenfabriek Thomassen in De Steeg (G), because this company donated the 137 to the Railway Museum in 1985. The petrol engine had already been replaced by a diesel engine at that time, but otherwise the machine was still in its original condition.

The locomotive has been fitted with a Denison Hydrostatic transmission since 1995, with the hydropump driving the wheel axles via the original chains. Since then, the maximum speed has been 7 km/h. Due to the high speed of the diesel engine to reach that speed from the usually cold state of the engine, the engine is worn out. The 137 has been out of service since 2005.

In November 2015, the 137 returned from the SGB to Go, where the locomotive has undergone a cosmetic makeover.
