Loco 549 of RWE Power (formerly Rheinbraun) returns from the opencast
mine Hambach (west of Cologne) with a loaded coal train on 4 May 2013. Due to
the advancement of the mine, the railway line connecting it to the power
stations is currently being relocated. Here the train is running on a newly
built section that went into service some days before.
