The series 1600 were built by Alsthom between 1981
and 1983, a total of 58 were delivered. Al
locomotives of the series 1600 were named after a
city or town and decorated with their coat of arms.
The locomotive 1652 is named after the city Utrecht,
that is the reason why the Rail club Utrecht has
the 1652 as its logo. At this moment the 1600 series wich are sold to NS-cargo are being repainted in NS-cargo red.
The 1600 is 17,64 meters long,
