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). Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz
