I didn't count them, but there seemed to be a heck of a lot of PKP motive power gathering dust at Tarnowskie Gory and to a lesser extent Czechowice in Silesia a few weeks ago.

Interesting, I was wondering who would mention Poland.

Stored locos can also be found at, among other depots, Poznan Franowo and Rybnik. I've got a list of other depots that I will add to this post later.

At Amsterdam Watergraafsmweer Yard you can even see 1 Fyra-set.
Are you sure about that? The Fyra sets were sold back to AnsaldoBreda and transported back to Italy afterwards, to my knowledge none remain in the Netherlands.

A few years ago the place was riddled with Fyra V250's. It was quite a sad sight, some of those trains had never carried a fare paying passenger in their life before being withdrawn.

Look at 52.356225, 4.943652 and go for the Earth (not Maps) version. Yes the trains are gone, but still to remind us of those horrible trains. Apparently!

The footage on Google Earth is 6 years old!

If you look at the nearby Thalys set, you can see some yellow stickering on the 2nd coach. It reads "Bienvenue a Rotterdam, 1-4 juillet 2010." It's a promotional livery for the 2010 Tour de France, which started in Rotterdam.
