1603 runs through Sindorf (on Cologne-Aachen) with D 419 (Oostende-Cologne) on 5 September 2001. The first car is a cab car, but it is not used as such since this old loco cannot be controlled from a cab car. Normally, the front pantograph would have to be used, but the class 16 locos have only one pantograph for each type of catenary (DC, narrow AC, wide AC).
