Farewell to Paris-Munich conventional daytime services (Ultimate day!!!):

Class 181.2 of DB-FV, seen heading the very last EC 64 ever (München Hbf ---> Paris Est), while nearing the Rhine Bridge, which marks the border between Kehl (Germany) and Strasburg (France).

At this stage, the front pantograph (15kV-16 2/3Hz AC) is still up, as the voltage change-over to 25kV-50Hz AC is located further left on the bridge, very close to the border...

Pont du Rhin-Rheinbruck (Kehl Grenze).

9th June 2007.
