Summary edit

Description

Twin brother of the British Rail class 08 shunter. Altogether 65 examples were built by English Electric Dick Kerr Works in Preston, UK between 1950 and 1957. During their lifetime they were allocated similar duties in the Netherlands, i.e. shunting at stations and yards. Several including this one were re-numbered which later became 671 on fitting of radio remote control equipment. Photo taken at Amsterdam CS on 3 September 1986.

NS withdrew the last class 600s in the early 2000s. However many have found their way to private operators in the Netherlands, some in preservation including some in the UK. In fact, 601 is now preserved at the Ribble Steam Museum near Preston very close to where it was built in the 1950s
