Two of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen 60 strong 1100 class locomotives which date from 1950 and were based upon the SNCF Class BB 8100 design, they were extensively rebuilt between 1978 and 1982.
They operated on both freight and passenger turns and were the NS main locomotive until the arrival of Class 1600's.
Unfortunately they were very unpopular to a point of being downright hated by the drivers for a number of reasons, and they were paid a special bonus for driving them.
Here 1109 and 1111 stand at the buffer stops near to Zwolle station, the last of the class was withdrawn in 1999, although many were out of service before then.
Taken from the train whilst participating on the Werkgroep 1501's railtour "The Dutch Northlander".

All good things must come to an end though.

When introduced, the Intercity liveried class 90s carried very small numbers on the cabside which, being tapered, were difficult to read when viewed from the other end. Unfortunately, this resulted in me having several pictures where I failed to record the number, such as this one stabled at Wolverhampton in June 1988.
I fund my Flickr membership, scanner and software myself. So, if you like my pictures please consider buying me a coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/seanl
