Since 2019 back to purple-pink, hence the nickname "Bisschop" for VSM 2530, seen here at Hilversum with an extra train on 8 June 2024. Leonardus Schrijvers
Side view on 2530 at Nijmegen on 15 December 2024. The last of a 130-strong Class of Alsthom-build Diesel locomotives, 2530 was equipped with a raised cab (and lower bonnets) to improve the driver's view. Due to the strong emphasis on electrification of the Dutch railways (that commenced from 1934 on and was only interrupted by WW-2) the 2530 remained a one-off. After service with the Netherlands State Railways NS she was sold to VSM that returned this loco into her pruple/lila colours, earning her the nickname Bisshop (at requests from the three Dutch southern provinces Gelderland, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, these being staunchly Roman Catholic in the 1950s and 1960s).
