what is it?
The NS 7600 was a series of tank engines of the Dutch Railways (NS) and its predecessor Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (HSM) and Haarlem-Zandvoort Spoorweg Maatschappij (HZSM). For operations of the railway line between Haarlem and Zandvoort, which opened in 1881, the HZSM ordered three locomotives from Borsig, with a fourth locomotive following shortly after that, the locomotives delivered in 1881 and 1882. In addition to the numbers 1–4, the locomotives carried the names Haarlem, Overveen, Zandvoort and Rudolph Sulzbach.
