CD electric locomotive class 372 #008, Kurort Rathen (Germany)
CD 372 008 pulling its freight towards the Czech border through Rathen. These dual-system locomotives are similar to the DB class 180. They are only capable for a maximum speed of 120 km/h, but six locomotives were rebuilt to the new class 371 with a maximum speed of 160 km/h. 372 008 is based like all other 372s (eight in total) in Ústí nad Labem. Rathen is a popular health resort in the Saxonian Switzerland, reachable every half hour from Dresden by train. Photo taken Saturday 31 October 2009. Photo: Steffen Mokosch (Steffen.Mokosch@web.de)
