Southwest Desiro 450 032 seen at Aachen West on 19 May 2004. For the transport to UK, these EMUs are attached to normal freight trains (with adapter cars of course, as normal freight cars have no Scharfenberg couplers). This train was just brought to Aachen West by an electric loco and will be taken over by a diesel, as the line to Montzen (Belgium) is not electrified.
