553 of RWE Power (formerly Rheinbraun) is waiting underneath the loading
facility at the opencast mine Hambach (west of Cologne) with it's coal train on
12 August 2007 while the train on the next track is loaded. The catenary, which
passes under the loading facility, is suspended laterally. Thus the main
pantographs of the loco are down and it is powered by the small tilted
pantograph which is clearly visible in this picture. Water is sprayed onto the
loaded cars to avoid dusting.
