Here NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) Class 186 quadruple voltage electric locomotives E 186 35 & 41 top & tail an earlier Intercity train from Amsterdam to Breda via Rotterdam racing non-stop southeastwards through HS. NS plans to replace these push-pull sets with high speed multiple units in the future. In 2018 NS took a sale-and-leaseback agreement with Akiem for the entire Class 186 engines they owned to cover the period until then. Notice the "Akiem" painted beneath the left-hand window .
