Second of five: NS 1732 quits 's-Hertogenbosch with the 2nd of five overnight trains from Tyrol on 4 March 2012. In order to replace Classes 1100, 1200 and 1300 in one blow/"fell swoop"(thanks to Shakespeare's MacBeth) NS ordered French again with a slightly modernised and somewhat lighter nez-cassé like Class 1600. The 81 locos ordered became Class 1700 and from 1994 were almost exclusively deployed om passenger services, from the humble urban trains to international crack passenger trains.

NSR organised a farewell trip through the Netherlands, using NS 1761 with a rake of DBIC coaches, notmally deployed on the IC-Berlijn (Amsterdam to Bad Bentheim); the last passenger services for this once ubiquitious class electrics. On 19 November 2023 NS 1761 stands in Nijmegen, where she will take a break of ten minutes before continuing to Tilburg and Rotterdam, places, the IC-Berlijn was never to be seen. The phrase at the loco says "after more than 30 years of yeoman service it is time to say goodbye.". 
