NS 5000 (WD) (original) (raw)
The NS 5000 was a series of steam locomotives of the Dutch Railways (NS), taken over from the British War Department. The locomotives, with wheel arrangement 1'E (2-10-0), were built between 1943 and 1945 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow for the British War Department to transport goods to the British Army during the war against Nazi Germany in mainland Western Europe. Their low axle load of 13.7 tons made them very suitable for running on makeshift or repaired railway lines.

| dbo:abstract | The NS 5000 was a series of steam locomotives of the Dutch Railways (NS), taken over from the British War Department. The locomotives, with wheel arrangement 1'E (2-10-0), were built between 1943 and 1945 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow for the British War Department to transport goods to the British Army during the war against Nazi Germany in mainland Western Europe. Their low axle load of 13.7 tons made them very suitable for running on makeshift or repaired railway lines. A number of locomotives were used in areas south of the Netherlands during the British occupation. Around October 1945, the engines were taken out of service and put into storage. In order to get railway traffic going after the German surrender in May 1945, the class was used in place of native Dutch engines that were destroyed or damaged during the war. At the beginning of 1946, it was decided that the NS would hire about sixty locomotives as NS 5001-5060 for pulling freight trains. Later this number was supplemented with an additional 43 locomotives, thus the NS 5001-5103 series was created. The NS soon lowered the steam pressure from 15.8 kg/cm² (225 psi) to 12 kg/cm² (170 psi) and made the chimneys longer to clear the smoke from the driver's view. These locomotives were withdrawn from service between 1948 and 1952. The 1,000th British-built locomotive shipped to continental Europe was commemorated. This locomotive, with the name "Longmoor" has been preserved in the Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht and has been brought back in the War Department condition with the number WD 73755. (en) De serie NS 5000 was een serie stoomlocomotieven van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), overgenomen van het Britse War Department. De locomotieven, met de asindeling 1'E, werden tussen 1943 en 1945 gebouwd door te Glasgow voor het Britse War Department om het Britse Leger te voorzien van voorraden tijdens hun strijd tegen het Duitse leger op het vasteland van West-Europa. Hun lage asdruk van 13,7 ton maakte ze zeer geschikt voor het rijden op provisorisch herstelde of aangelegde spoorlijnen. Een aantal locomotieven werd gedurende de Engelse bezetting in het zuiden van Nederland ingezet. Rond oktober 1945 werden de locomotieven uit dienst genomen en opgeborgen. Om na de overgave van het Duitse leger in mei 1945 het spoorwegverkeer op gang te krijgen, waren deze oorlogslocomotieven een welkome aanvulling op het sterk gedecimeerde park van Nederlandse stoomlocomotieven. Begin 1946 werd besloten dat de NS een zestigtal locomotieven zou huren als NS 5001-5060 voor het trekken van goederentreinen. Later werd dit aantal aangevuld met 43 locomotieven zodat de serie NS 5001-5103 ontstond. De NS verlaagde al snel de stoomspanning van 15,8 kg/cm2 naar 12 kg/cm2 en verlengde de schoorstenen om de machinist te beschermen tegen neerslaande rook. Tussen 1948 en 1952 werden de locomotieven buiten dienst gesteld. De duizendste in Engeland gebouwde locomotief die naar het Europese vasteland werd verscheept, werd voorzien van een gedenkplaat. Deze locomotief, met de naam "Longmoor" is in het Nederlands Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht bewaard gebleven en is in de War Department uitvoering met het nummer WD 73755 teruggebracht. (nl) |
