Interesting and rare meeting of different Görlitz built double deck cars at Aachen West on 11 December 2007. On the left is a German push-pull train with a class 111 loco at the end, in regular service as RE 10421 (Aachen-Dortmund). The Dutch DD-IRM EMU (in fact just one half of a six car train) on the right is not yet completed, a local freight train transports it to the Talbot works where the electrical equipment and the furnishing will be installed. Two flatcars are used as adapter as the EMU has Scharfenberg couplers. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz (christoph.schmitz2@post.rwth-aachen.de)
