• 100 Class: The "oersik" was designed by the NS Service of Rolling Stock and Workshops and built by Berliner Machinenbau A.G. Due to the broad and low mounted footboards the enginedriver could easily mount and dismount.
• 200 Class: "Sik". A light shunting locomotive. Some Sikken had a crane.
• 400 Class: "Grote Sik" locomotives were not in service for long as they were too light for steadily increasing weight of the shunting duties. They were built after War by Werkspoor
• 500 Class and 600 Class: nicknamed "Hippel" or "Bakkie". These are shunting locomotive currently not in use with the NS any more a few tho are sold to other companies.
• 2000 Class: These locomotives were bought from the American Army after World War 2 and came into service as series 600. 20 locomotives were in use, some of them were reserve. After a few years the American engines were replaced by Werkspoor-Engines due to a lack of spareparts. The series was then renumbered to 2000. Between 1958-1960 they were scrapped.
• 2200 Class: Widely used diesel locomotive. Later some were used in Belgium for the construction of the high-speed connection between Netherlands and Belgium.
• 2400 Class: Widely used diesel locomotive. Later some were used in France for the construction of the high-speed lines. A special version of this locomotive exists called "De Bisschop" (2530). This diesel loc has, as experiment, a higher constructed cab. Because of the purple colour it is nicknamed "The Bishop".
• 2600 Class: The NS series 2600 "Beel" diesel locomotives were mainly used on the line Eindhoven - Venlo and later on Nijmegen - Roermond as well. These locomotives were plagued by failures, which led to using them in couples. In case of failure of the first the second could take over. Their nickname "Beel" was given because the high front of them resembled the then Dutch minister Beel. After being in service for only 5 years they were demolished. They were built by Werkspoor in Utrecht in 1958.
• 2800 Class: "Kreupele Marie" (Dutch for "Crippled Marie"). This prototype diesel locomotive, no. 2801, was designed by Matériel de Traction Diesel Electrique (MTDE). This firm was established by the Dutch Werkspoor and French Schneiderworks with the purpose of designing and building standardised diesel lokomotives. In 1962 the prototype came into NS service and was well-known for its defects; hence it was given its nick name. Therefore this elegant locomotive was not long in service either. It was withdrawn in 1970. It was built by Werkspoor in Utrecht in 1962.
• 2900 Class: This diesel locomotive was purchased by NS from the Statemines (series 151-155) for "Spoorslag '70". The were not long in service with NS, after a few years they were sold to the FEVE in Spain.

• Mat '34 The very first series of streamlined multiple units of the NS was Mat '34, also nicknamed "Diesel Three". The streamlined form was developed during numerous trials at the Zeppelin Luftschiffahrt Gesellschaft in Friedrichshafen. Vmax 140 km/h.

• DE-5: The NS dieselelectric five-car unit series DE 5 was built for fast-train services and foreign services. For this purpose they had large fueltanks sufficient for about 2000 km. The war, however, made these services impossible. In 1940 during a trialrun a speed of 172 km/h was reached. They were built by Werkspoor in Utrecht, Beijnes in Haarlem and Allan in Rotterdam.

1700 class locomotive pulling a DDM at Amersfoort station

• The DDM (Dubbeldeks Materieel, see picture) coaches were delivered in two series. DDM-1 is operated in fixed formations of 6 coaches, using a 1800 class locomotive for traction. DDM-2/3 operates in fixed formations of 3 or 4 coaches. 4 car trains use a class 1700 locomotive for traction, 3 car trains use an mDDM motorcar, which resembles a DDM driving trailer but has electric motors and a single passenger deck on top; the level of this deck is higher than that of a regular single deck rail car, but lower than the upper deck of the other coaches. DDM-2/3 is also known as DD-AR.
  • 3 types of coaches are available: Bv (second class), ABv (first and second class) and Bvk (second class driving trailer);
  • in the past, different formations were also used: DDM-1 was used in 5, 6 and 7 car formations, DD-AR was also used in 3 and 6 car formations coupled to a class 1700 locomotive;
  • some DDM-1 coaches Bv have been converted for use in push-pull trains consisting mostly of coaches class ICR.

• The DD-IRM and DD-VIRM (Dubbeldeks Interregio Materieel and Dubbeldeks Verlengd Interregio Materieel, see picture), also called Regiorunner; a train consists of one or more combinations of 3, 4 or 6 double decks coaches; each combination (multiple unit) has electric motors; an electronic display in the cars which is supposed to show the final destination of the train is often not set properly, showing the starting station instead; occasionally a moving text is shown; interestingly, moving texts are in italics, though the display resolution is too low to show static italics (an apparent shift of a fraction of a pixel is obtained by a corresponding time delay). After the first series of DD-IRM, which consisted of only three and four car trains, extra cars were added to most of these trains resulting in the DD-VIRM. Three car trains were transformed to four car trains and four car trains to six car trains. Later more of these series were ordered in four and six car trains. More than three-hundred are currently operative in the Netherlands.

• The Koploper (ICM) (Intercity Materieel) is a 3- or 4-car multiple unit that when coupled with another one, allows passengers to walk through (Koploper is literally "head walker"). The Dutch Railways decided to close the heads permanently, because the mechanism broke down too often and they say that not many people used it.

• The Sprinter (SGM, Stads Gewestelijk Materieel) is a two or three car electric, used on small distances. They are named Sprinter because they're able to accelerate and brake quite fast, making them very suitable for 'stoptrein' services. Two car versions have been revised and are now named Railhoppers. Three car versions can be seen in two versions: the old yellow version, and the very much revised white ones. These trains will mostly ride in the Randstad area. Some two-car version are renamed as city pendel and have a different seating arrangement.

• The Benelux train running between Amsterdam Centraal and Brussels-South consists of an Belgian electric locomotive and six carriages similar to the ICR, except that the last one has a driver's cabin, for controlling the locomotive when it pushes the train (it is a push-pull train). See also Train routes in the Netherlands#Train number series (series 600) and [1].

triple Mat '64 (Plan V)

• One of the older train types still in use is the Mat '64 multiple unit. There are two varieties:
  • Mat '64 (Plan V), a 2-car electric multiple unit (the picture shows a train consisting of three of these);
  • Mat '64 (Plan T), a 4-car electric multiple unit; with respect to seating arrangement and lighting there are three varieties; in one variety the lighting is rather meagre for reading. Was a Mat '54 ELD4 with 213 ton the heaviest EMU in Europe, with 163 ton The Plan T the lightest. With this series the requirement to operate in multiple unit with older EMU was abandoned, to be able to profit from new technical improvements as automatic door closing system and rapid acceleration. Unfortunately it became clear with the Prototype EMU, nicknamed "Future" that a lower weight resulted in worse driving characteristics. In 100 sec. This EMU accelerates to 132 km/h, during a testrun 176 km/h was achieved. The prototype was built by Werkspoor in Utrecht in 1961. From EMU 502 the automatic couplers were placed at the level of the UIC-couplers. Also the layout of the middle coaches was altered: the AD became BD (with small kitchen) and the B became AB, also the luggagecompartment was enlarged and double sliding doors used instead of a single one. NS Mat '64 Plan V were built after all EMU's Plan T were built. A big difference between Plan T and V is lower output of Plan V: 138 kW per motor instead of 175 kW. Some later versions lacked the luggage compartment.

• The ICE3 is a German high-speed train and runs between Amsterdam Centraal and Germany.

• The Thalys is a high-speed train and runs between Amsterdam Centraal and Paris-North.

• High-speed shuttle trains will be bought for domestic high speed connections once the high-speed line between Amsterdam and Belgium is finished in 2007.

Before 2004 there was in the summer a night train between Amsterdam Centraal and Paris-North. Although much slower than the Thalys, it was popular with budget tourists: some rail passes are not valid in the Thalys, and sleeping in the train saved the cost of a hotel. There were sleeping cars at a supplemental fee, but many people spent the night sitting in a seat, or, if it was not crowded, lying on seats. 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

• Mat '24: In 1924, two prototype EMU's were delivered to NS, one by Werkspoor and the other by Beijnes. Both had the train composition mBD+Bec+Aec+Cec+mC. The Cec's were built by Hawa in Hanover. The Mat '24, nicknamed 'Blokkendoos', were especially for the services on the Old Line Amsterdam–Rotterdam which was electrified with 1500 V DC in this period. The third mBD5 was already delivered in 1924. Mat '24 series was built between 1923 and 1932.

• Mat '35: The first streamlined electric multiple units of NS Mat '35. They were nicknamed 'Hoek van Hollanders' because of they were used between Rotterdam and Hook of Holland. Eight units were built: 4 with and 4 without luggage-section. They were built by Werkspoor, Beijnes en Allan and consisted of 2 coaches.

• Mat '36: This is practically the same as the Mat '35 EMU. They were built by Werkspoor in 1937-8. Versions existed consisting of two, three or four coaches.

• Mat '40: The two- and five-car version of Mat '40 "Gooimaterieel" so-called because the planned deployment on Amsterdam–Amersfoort although they hardly ever used on this line. There were designed for speeds up to 160 km/h and built by Beijnes in Haarlem and Werkspoor in Utrecht between 1942 and 1944. This series was very similar to the Mat '35 series as well.

• Mat '46: The NS Mat '46s were ordered to compensate for war-lost EMU's. This series had some differences compared to its predecessors: a convergent shaped front and sliding doors in the luggagecompartment. There are versions consisting of two and four coaches. From a technical viewpoint a four-car EMU consists of two two-car EMU's. They were built by Allan, Beijnes and Werkspoor between 1949 and 1952.

• Mat '54: NS Mat '54 "Hondekop" (Dognose) series was extremely solidly constructed, resulting in a heavy weight. The running characteristics are very good, the trains sticks to the rails as if it is made of concrete. Calculating weight per seat (888 kg), Mat '54 is the heaviest of its kind ever built in Europe. From the beginning, much attention was paid to the workplace of the driver. The series were built by Allan in Rotterdam between 1956 and 1958. Three versions existed, consisting of two, three or four coaches. To modernise the Benelux-service (Amsterdam–Brussels) and the finishing of the electrification between Roosendaal and Essen, 12 EMU were built that these EMU run in multiple unit with existing EMU's. The EMU can run under 1500 V DC and 3000 V DC. In cooperation with the NMBS the following was decided: mechanically of the same construction as the NS Mat '54 and the electrical installation would be a Belgian one. On the ABk is the 1500 V DC pantograph, on the BDk the 3000 V DC one.

• The SM'90 EMUs (railhopper) ran on the line Zwolle - Emmen. There are only 9 bought as an experimentel train, intended as successor to Mat '64, but NS chose more double deck EMUs class DD-AR instead. In the beginning they were ridden with trouble. All 9 trainsets have been taken out of service in december 2005.

• The railroad cars ICR (Intercity Rijtuig = intercity carriage) are pulled by an electric locomotive, usually a 1700 or 1800. For the basic variety, unlike for the other trains, reversing direction requires moving the locomotive to the other side. At the back end passengers can have a view on the track, though not when seated. Some trains however have a carriage with a driver cabin at one end, and a locomotive at the other. Long trains with a locomotive at each end are also used. These train setups do not require the locomotive to be moved when reversing direction.
  • The older variety of carriages has windows that can be opened and seats facing seats (picture: [2]), the newer variety ICRm has air-conditioning and mainly seats facing backs of seats (picture: [3]).
  • Koninklijk rijtuig (Dutch for Royal Carriage): a modified ICR.
