DB Class 103 Electric Locomotive.
Not the traditional railway photo but in September 2002 the Class 103 locos were becoming harder to find. This SNAP of 103 174-9 was made from train RB30421 ( 16:09 Nürnberg-Neuhaus) on Thursday September 19th, 2002. Number 174 apparently was attached to a IC train set and held as a potential relief for and overly late running services.
