This is not a double traction. On 22
(ID 56227)
After having been hauled by an RFO electric from Bad Bentheim, CD Cargo 383 015 Frantisek Ringhoffer II got to work againg at Amersfoort on 22 NOvember 2025 and is about to depart from Amersfoort
Plan V 904 of 2454CREW stands ready at Amersfoort on 22 NOvember 2025 to start a great roundabout trip for the sponsors, that bought out the tickets for this extra ride within an hour.



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.

RailExperts 9904 basks in the Sunlight at Amersfoort on 1 August 2026. That day, about 250 railway photographers watched the final test ride of Blokkendoos 9107 (that turned out to be a complete succes). The arrival of two ex-NS 1600/1800s in the guise of Rail Adventure 9903 and RXP 9904 added tot the joy.

RXP 9904 stands at Amersfoort on 1August 2026. This loco entered service in 1983 as NS 1618 and became Railogix 1618. Railogix gave 1618 this colour scheme that leaned to the SNCF Multiservice colours albeit with a red ventilation grille instead of the grey. In 2026 RailExperts -who organised special raiwlay journeys and decided to buy their own traffic after the demise of LOCON Benelux- bought the 1618 and restored her in full working condition,for now retaining the Railogiox colours.
