NedTrain Amsterdam Zaanstraat workshop open day Electric trainset 252 (Mat'36, built in 1938) has been saved by STIBANS. The external condition of the trainset is very reasonable, but internally it is completely empty! However, there are very serious plans to bring this trainset back to operational condition. It is considered a "missing link" between the historic trainsets that have already been preserved. Amsterdam, 15-09-2007 Digital photo by Marco van Uden
