  Electric locomotives

• 1200 Class: These locomotives are former NS locomotive; They are operated by Railexperts for charter trains.
• 1600 Class and 1800 Class: These two types of locomotives are the same, the 1800 series got renumbered from 1600 after the partial privatisation of the NS. The 1600 are used by a number of freight companies. The 1800 were used by NS Reizigers. They are stil used by Railexperts and Rail Force One.
• 1700 Class: This locomotive is very similar to the 1600/1800 in appearance but technically different. They were frequently used in combination with DD-AR/DDM until late 2019 and the Intercity between Amsterdam and Berlin until late 2023. Currently they are operated by Volkerrail, Strukton and Train Charter Services.
• Plan mP : These are the trains formerly used to distribute mail. Currently they have various tasks such as measuring rails or locate gps.
• 186 Class: Since 2008, 14 TRAXX F140 AC2 locomotives have been leased by NS from Alpha Trains for operations on the HSL-Zuid. They are painted yellow with blue. The NS ordered 45 of these locomotives for use on high speed services; deliveries of these started in the Summer of 2014. The 186 is also used by a large number of freight companies.
• 189 Class: Certain locomotives of DB Cargo Class 189 are operating primarily in the Netherlands, they are distinguished by large white contrast areas on the front sides. These are also used by many private freight operators.
• Siemens Vectron: Certain locomotives of DB Cargo, Nederlandse Spoorwegen and other operators operating primarily in the Netherlands, being used for the NightJet and many freight services across the country.

  Diesel multiple units

• Lint 41 are DMUs used by Arriva. Used on the Zutphen – Hengelo – Oldenzaal and Almelo - Hardenberg services.
• Stadler GTW are DMUs used by Arriva and Breng. They replaced the Wadlopers and Buffels. Arriva uses them in the north of the Netherlands on the diesel lines out of Groningen to Delfzijl, Rodeschool, Nieuwschans and Leeuwarden. They also operate out of Leeuwarden to Harlingen and Stavoren. Since 2012 Arriva also uses them on the Arnhem – Tiel, – Winterswijk, Winterswijk – Zutphen and Zutphen – Apeldoorn services. And since 2016 Arriva uses them on the Roermond – Venlo and Venlo – Nijmegen services. Breng uses these units between Arnhem and Doetinchem.

High-speed services">High-speed rail">High-speed services

• The ICE 3M is a Dutch-German high-speed train that runs between Amsterdam and Arnhem in the Netherlands, onto Frankfurt and Cologne in Germany and Basel in Switzerland. ICE trains require special high-speed tracks to run at high speeds, but can also run on normal tracks at normal speeds.
• The Thalys PBA and Thalys PBKA are used for Thalys services to Paris and Lille. Thalys is a high-speed train network built around the high-speed line between Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. This track is shared with Eurostar trains that go from Paris or Brussels to London via Lille and the Channel Tunnel and with French domestic TGV trains. The system uses two models of trains, the PBA and the PBKA, which both belong to the TGV family of high-speed trains built by Alstom in France, although they are not identical to domestic TGV sets. Beyond Brussels, the main cities Thalys trains reach are Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Liège, Aachen and Cologne. Trains to these destinations run partly on dedicated high-speed tracks and partly on regular tracks. Since the completion of Dutch high speed line the Thalys travels from Amsterdam to Schiphol, to Rotterdam and via Breda to Antwerp in Belgium.
• The British Rail Class 374 operated by Eurostar which began operating in the Netherlands on 4 April 2018. Eurostar is a high-speed railway service connecting London with Amsterdam, Avignon, Brussels, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Paris and Rotterdam. All its trains traverse the Channel Tunnel between the United Kingdom and France, owned and operated separately by Getlink.

  Intercity services">InterCity#Netherlands">Intercity services

• The Koploper is a 3- or 4-car multiple unit that when coupled with another one, allowed passengers to walk through. NS decided to close the doors permanently on 31 October 2005 because the mechanism broke down too often.

• The DDZ EMUs are converted from DDM-2/3 resembling the bilevel rail cars series DDM-1 from 1985 and operates in fixed formations of 4 or 6 coaches. All trains use an mDDM motorcar for traction, which resembles a DD-AR driving trailer but has electric motors and a single passenger deck on top; the level of this deck is higher than that of a regular single deck rail car, but lower than the upper deck of the other coaches.
• The VIRM, also called Regiorunner was partially rebuilt from trainsets DD-IRM. DD-IRM was delivered in 3- and 4-car trainsets. 3-car trainsets got one extra coach, 4-car trainsets got two extra coaches. Also, new 4- and 6-car trainsets were built. Thus, a train consists of one or more combinations of 4 or 6 double deck coaches; each combination has electric motors. More than three hundred coaches are currently operative in the Netherlands.
• The ICNG is operated by NS as of 2023.

  Local services">Regional rail">Local services

• The PROTOS is a train which was built by Fahrzeugtechnik Dessau for the Valleiljn. There are 5 units of them in use with Keolis.
• The Sprinter Lighttrain or SLT is a new 4 or 6 car unit, built partly to replace Mat '64 stock. There are 131 of them. They do not have a toilet. For this reason further orders have been cancelled. Building toilets into the existing trains had been considered during the building phase, but it was judged to be too expensive. At this moment toilets are being built in to these trains.
• The electric Stadler GTW is operated by Arriva for services on electrified lines in South Limburg, together with the Stadler FLIRT. The other services of Arriva in Limburg are on non-electrified lines, and are operated by the diesel Stadler GTW. As of 9 December 2018, it's also operated by Qbuzz on the MerwedeLingeLijn between Dordrecht and Geldermalsen.
• The Stadler FLIRT is operated by Arriva, Keolis Nederland, NS and NS R-Net
• The Sprinter New Generation or SNG is operated by NS since 9 December 2018, which is built by CAF Civity.

Steam locomotives

• Arend: was the first locomotive in the Netherlands and pulled the first train between Amsterdam and Haarlem in 1839.
• Series 600: Formerly SS 255-260. Built 1866 by Beyer, Peacock & Company in Manchester. Originally built as 2-4-2 engines, but rebuilt as 0-4-2s to allow them to do shunting.
• Series 700: A class of 2-4-0 passenger engines. This class was also built in 1866 by Beyer, Peacock & Company, and renumbered after HSM and SS began to cooperate. It is considered one of the most beautiful locomotive types in the Netherlands. It was taken out of service in 1933. Formerly SS 1II-5II, 9-78, and NBDS 1-5.
• Series 1300 : A class of 2-4-0 engines built by Beyer, Peacock & Company from 1880 to 1895. They were nicknamed 'Grote Groenen' or 'Big Green'. It was designed for fast passenger and mail service over the SS lines to Germany, which competed with the NBDS and the HSM. These locomotives could pull a 15-coach train at when well fueled, which was fast for the time.
• Series 1500: was a series of high-speed train locomotives of the Dutch Railways and its predecessors Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen and Nederlandsche Centraal-Spoorweg-Maatschappij.
• Series 1600 : A class of 4-4-0 engines built by Sharp Stewart from 1889 to 1903. These were the first engines in the Netherlands to use bogies, and were nicknamed 'Rhijnboog' or 'Rhine Arch'. When the SS took over the NRS, this class was split between the SS and the HSM. The SS sold their locomotives to the HSM because their turntables were too short. Formerly NRS 101-109, or later HSM 350-408.
• Series 1700 : A larger class of 4-4-0 engines built to pull the fast passenger services, which continued to increase in weight. These locomotives were nicknamed 'Overkoker', or 'Boil Over'. Formerly SS 801-935.
• Series 2000: The first 4-4-2 engines in the country, built by Beyer, Peacock & Company in 1900. This class was designed to pull the increasingly heavy mail trains from Vlissingen to Boxtel. Formerly SS 995-999.
• Series 2100: A class of 4-4-0 passenger trains built by Schwartzkopff between 1914 and 1920. At the time this class was built, the SS had recently bought a class of 4-6-0s, and the HSM didn't want to stay behind. They had to use 4-4-0s due to the length of the turntables, however. Formerly HSM 501-535.
• Series 2800: These were the first 0-6-0 freight engines on the NRS. They were built by Beyer, Peacock & Company from 1865 to 1881. After the NRS was bought out, the engines were divided between the HSM and the SS. By the time the NS was formed, only the SS engines came into service.
• Series 2900 : A class of 0-6-0 freight engines built by Beyer, Peacock & Company between 1865 and 1878. They were nicknamed 'Driemaster' or 'Three-master', as they were the first six-coupled freight engines built in the country. Originally owned by the SS.
• Series 3200 : A class of 0-6-0s designed for goods trains, built by Sharp Stewart and Werkspoor between 1895 and 1907. They quickly became the standard class for such work, and were nicknamed 'Kamer en suite'/'Room en suite', possibly due to their large cabs. Formerly HSM 601-647.
• Series 3300: Following the freight locomotives HSM 601-647 with three coupled axles from the years 1895-1907 the HSM ordered at Werkspoor about fifteen similar freight locomotives, now with superheater. These were delivered in 1912, 1914 and 1915. The locomotives performed very well in service.
• Series 3500: In 1907, the NBDS was the first railway company in the Netherlands to order express train locomotives with the axle layout 2'C, which were delivered by Beyer, Peacock & Company in 1908 and were put into service with the numbers 30-35. The larger companies Nederlandsche Centraal-Spoorweg-Maatschappij and SS only arrived two years later with such express train locomotives, the NCS 71-78, later NS 3600 and SS 700, later NS 3700.
• Series 3700 : The NS 3700 series was a series of 120 4-6-0 express steam locomotives from the Dutch Railways. Ordered by the SS and later also the NS. The locomotive were built by Beyer, Peacock and Company, Werkspoor, Henschel & Sohn, Hanomag and Schwartzkopff between 1910 and 1928.
• Series 3900 : The NS 3900 series was a series of express train steam locomotives from the Dutch Railways. At the end of the 1920s, the Dutch Railways needed an express train locomotive that was stronger than the 3700 series, because more and more wooden passenger cars were replaced by steel. Meanwhile the axle load could also be increased from 16 tons to 18 tons. This resulted in a design that looked similar to both the series 3600 and 3700. The 3900 series was given the rod or bar frame of the 3600, but in terms of the design of the boiler, cylinders and operator's house, it appeared to be an enlarged 3700, but with a more powerful boiler and cylinders with a diameter instead of. With this, both the pulling power and the power increased by about 15 percent. The same boiler would later be used in the tender locomotive 6300. The tender was roughly the same as that of the 3600 series and the later-built 4-axle tenders of the 3700 series. The series was able to quickly carry the heaviest passenger trains at a speed of. The manufacturer, the German factory Henschel & Sohn, delivered the locomotives in two series in 1929 and 1930. The first series of 22 locomotives from 1929 was initially not equipped with wind deflectors to prevent the wind from blowing the smoke. The chimney would blow into the operator's view. These were applied in 1930. The second series of ten locomotives was supplied with wind deflectors immediately upon delivery.
• Series 4000': The NS 4000 series was a series of fast train steam locomotives in service with the Dutch Railways from 1945 to 1956.
• Series 4300
• Series 4500-4600:In 1914 the NBDS ordered four freight locomotives at Hohenzollern in Düsseldorf-Grafenberg with the intended numbers 118-121. Due to the outbreak of World War I in 1915, delivery was delayed. It was not until 1917 that the 118 was delivered, followed by the 119 in 1918. In 1919 the NBDS merged into the SS, where the locomotives 118 and 119 received the SS numbers 1301 and 1302. The locomotives delivered in 1920 came directly into service with the SS numbers 1303 and 1304.
• Series 4700 : Already in World War II, the Dutch government ordered 50 steam locomotives in London at the Swedish factory Nydqvist & Holm AB in Trollhättan to quickly bring the fleet of locomotives greatly reduced by warfare. To save time, they opted for existing models of typically Swedish locomotives. This involved 15 express train locomotives with the axle layout 2'C and 35 freight locomotives with the axle layout D. The express train locomotives were divided into the NS 4000 series and the freight locomotives in the NS 4700 series.
