Mostly now seen on the Zwolle- Emmen line, units are very rarely seen anywhere else. Any photos of these units working other services would be welcome.
May 2007 - all 9 SM-90 railhopper EMUs have been SCRAPPED during the first months of this year (2007). The units were withdrawn from active duty in December 2005 because the costs of keeping this small class operational were becoming too high.
Unit 2109 had the questionable honour of being the last unit to make itself useful during a disaster simulation at Utrecht CS last October. Although the units were officially for sale NS never really tried hard to get rid of them and finally decided to scrap them.
Only 1 front of unit 2106 will be preserved.
