560 of RWE Rheinbraun pulls a train of empty coal wagons to the opencast mine
Hambach on 10 October 2001. The driver sits in the left gondola. In forward
operation he is free to choose the side, I guess the left side gives a better
view onto the signals in curves. Both of the big pantographs are used in normal
operation. The two little tilted pantographs on the sides are used under the
loading facility, where a normal catenary is not possible.
