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.

Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) NS 876 form type Plan V9, EIP2, serie 871-888, built in 1972,  preserved in running conditions at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022.

Trainset 876 is part of a large series of 246 electric multiple units, divided over 13 series of Plan V. However, these series were not all equal. The V1 - V3 series still had a luggage department. But with the reduction of bicycle transport, this department was dropped at Plan V4 - V7. The series V8 - V13, on the other hand, got a so-called postal department, which could also be used as a luggage room. That department was also equipped with eight folding seats, so that travelers could also use this space. Our train set belongs to the latter category and is part of Plan V9 with the train set numbers 871 - 888. 
After 38 years, the economic life of the last Plan-Vs had been reached. In September 2016, the last Plan-V sets were taken out of service and on September 25, train set 876 was driven into the Railway Museum.
