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. Steam Locomotive "NESTOR" built in 1879 by A. Borsig, Berlin-Tegel (D) with works numebr 3730, of the type Sneltreinlocomotief, HSM-serie EOS - JORDAENS, NS-serie 1001 - 1029, 'Tiender', NS-soortmerk P2, 1Bn2-3T9. Preserved indoor at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022. At the HIJSM (or HSM) all locomotives built up to 1889 had a name. This also applied to this series of 29 locomotives: 'EOS - JORDAENS'. Numbers had only an administrative function and were assigned for all locomotives in order of entry into service. For the locomotives of this type these were the numbers 74 - 82, 89 - 98 and 116 - 125. Locomotive 'NESTOR' was given the number 89. The HSM ordered the locomotives in connection with the expansion of its network with the lines Zutphen - Winterswijk and Amsterdam - Zaandam. They ran the express trains on the main lines of the HSM, until stronger locomotives became available. They were then relegated to passenger train service. The steam pressure was 10 atm, which explains the nickname 'Tienders'. Hat were the first locomotives to be fitted with the through Westinghouse braking system from the factory. This made them ideally suited for express train service. At NS the locomotives were renumbered in a continuous series in 1921: NS 1001 - 1029. The names disappeared. The 'NESTOR' became NS 1010. At the end of their lives they only drove in shunting. The NS 1010 was taken out of service in 1939 and kept for the Railway Museum. At the end of the 2nd World War she was heavily damaged by the retreating Germans in Maastricht. She was eventually completely repaired at the Roosendaal traction depot and returned to its original condition. In 1964 the 'NESTOR' arrived at the Railway Museum and drove the last few meters under its own power. However, the locomotive had not been heated up for this purpose, but the boiler was filled with compressed air from the main reservoir of the accompanying diesel locomotive.
