Pans Up
1127 at Tilburg station on the morning of 18th November. The loco was at the head of a Den Haag CS bound Inter City service. Normally loco’s in Holland run with just one pantograph raised but when pulling away from station stops, drivers regularly raise the second pan in order to draw power more easily. The Dutch network is electrified at 1500KV DC. The new Betuwe freight line and the High Speed line are 25KV AC.
