7773 and 7774 are passing the village of Montzen on the single-tracked line to Welkenraedt with mixed freight train 44521 on 11 December 2007. This train is pulled by Belgian locos on the whole trip from Antwerpen-Noord (marshalling yard in Antwerpen) to Gremberg (marshalling yard in Cologne). As the reversal at Aachen West would cause extra shunting in this case (normally the loco has to be changed there anyway) the train bypasses this station running via Welkenraedt and Aachen Süd.
