The Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Class 1300 was a Dutch locomotive in service for 48 years from 1952 until 2000.
It was built at the same time as the NS Class 1100 at Alsthom and was based on the SNCF Class CC 7100. The Class 1300 is a bigger 6-axle version of the Class 1100.
The first loco, the 1301, was delivered in 1952 and was first used at the opening of the electric service between Zwolle and Groningen.
Already in the first year of service a locomotive of the Class 1300, the 1303, became part of an accident at Weesp in 1953. After this accident Alsthom delivered a new loco that was originally to be delivered as a CC 7100 to the SNCF because the 1303 was badly damaged and scraped on the spot.
The loco's numbered 1312-1316 were delivered in 1956 in a Berlin blue colour scheme (the loco's delivered in 1952 were delivered in a turquoise colour scheme, but were painted Berlin blue in 1955).
During the 1980s the entire Class 1300 got prolonging maintenance and were painted yellow, with a big NS logo at the side. Also, the loco's were all named after a Dutch city:
- 1301 Dieren
- 1302 Woerden
- 1304 Culemborg
- 1305 Alphen aan den Rijn
- 1306 Brummen
- 1307 Etten-Leur
- 1308 Nunspeet
- 1309 Susteren
- 1310 Bussum
- 1311 Best
- 1312 Zoetermeer
- 1313 Uitgeest
- 1314 Hoorn
- 1315 Tiel
- 1316 Geldermalsen
In 2000 the last locomotives retired from service. The 1302, 1304, 1312 and 1315 were kept for museal purposes.
