An unidentified class 185 loco passes Köln-Lövenich with a westbound freight train on 28 December 2005. Note that on the highspeed tracks (used by ICE and Thalys running 250 km/h) most of the snow was blown away, on the S-Bahn (suburban railway) track next to the platform (allowed speed 120 km/h, but all trains stop here, thus they are even slower) a lot of snow remained.
