This is not a double traction. On 22 November 2025 CD Cargo 383 015 decided she had done enough for the day on departure from Bad Bentheim in Germany for the ride to Beverwijk Tata Steel and so the rather decrepid RFO 1831 was rushed onto the train for the ride in the Netherlands. Almost all freights from Bad Bentheim pause for about half an hour at Amersfoort and here CD Cargo decided she will go on after all. She has raised a pantograph to test and diagnose the technical failure and solve it, with RFO 1831 still on the train just in case. This gave at Amersfoort a colourfull train which seems in double traction. 

On 18 May 2019 ex-NS, later DBSRN 1604 hauls a train with natural gas kettles through Dordrecht Zuid. ONe year later, the carreer within DB Schenker Rail Nederland ended for Class 1600 due to the influx of DB Class 193.3 Vectrons. Almost all ex=DBSRN 1600s have sadly been scrapped. 

After decades in yellow, some ex-NS 1600s saw a red carreer with DBSRN, like 1614 hauling a rake of ÖBB open wagons into Tilburg on 14 April 2014. 
