Mak DE 6400 / NS Class 6400 - DB Cargo 6416 'Arie'

Description
The Mak DE 6400 / NS Class 6400 is a type of 4 axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. 120 were built by MaK and ABB between 1988 and 1994 for Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION

The locomotives were the result of a contract won by MaK and Brown, Boveri & Cie to replace Nederlandse Spoorwegen's old medium power locomotives. The design is based upon the MaK DE 1002 with modifications the locomotives are 1.4 m (4 ft 7 1⁄8 in) longer to incorporate additional equipment, in particular an auxiliary diesel generator, as well as ATB equipment; the bogies are longer than on the DE 1002 to incorporate tread brakes instead of disc brakes.

Builder: MaK / ABB
Build date 1988-94
Total produced: 120
Transmission: Diesel electric
Maximum speed: 120 km/h (75 mph)

OPERATIONS AND OPERATORS

For Nederlandse Spoorwegen 120 of these locomotives were built, numbered 6401-6520.

The locomotives became the property of NS Cargo, and then Railion Benelux when the company merged with DB Cargo in 2000. The locomotives subsequently became the property of the successor companies; Railion Nederland, then DB Schenker Rail Nederland (part of the DB Schenker group).

Some locomotives have had PZB (Indusi) or Memor safety systems installed to allow operations in Germany or Belgium.

The class can be seen over the whole country, with many to be found at Amsterdam Westhaven, Kijfhoek Yard, Roosendaal, Tilburg, Emmerich am Rhein (Germany), Amersfoort, Venlo, Zwolle and many other places. The locomotives often work in pairs or in threes on heavy trains.

Many of the locomotives carry boys names; these are from the names of Dutch notaries, often directors of companies and businessmen; e.g. 6401 was named Mijndert after Mijndert Pon, director of the Pon company.

Due to the economic downturn of the late 2000s, in 2011 numbers 6401-6410, 6419, 6420, 6443-6460, 6462, 6471-6475, 6480-6494, 6496, 6498 and 6501-6503 were out of service.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIVERIES

The locomotives were originally in NS grey and yellow, except the last 10 units (6511-6520) which were in a red livery with diagonal white stripe on the front surface. After takeover by Railion locomotives received a red Railion sticker on the side, later some locomotives received a red railion livery. A small number of units also received RailPro livery and branding. The locomotive names are carried on the cab fronts between the roof and top of the windows.
