De Arend (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈʔaːrənt] ; the eagle ) was one of the two first steam locomotives in the Netherlands . It was a 2-2-2 Patentee type built in England by R. B. Longridge and Company of Bedlington , Northumberland to run on the then standard Dutch track gauge of 1,945 mm (6 ft 4+ 9 ⁄16 in ). On 20 September 1839, together with the Snelheid (Dutch for speed ), it hauled the first train of the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij between Amsterdam and Haarlem . It was withdrawn in 1857.
In 1939 a replica of the De Arend was constructed for the 100th anniversary of the Dutch railways. It is displayed at the Nederlands Spoorwegmuseum (Dutch Railway Museum) in Utrecht .
