In the evening of 18 January 2004, 643 218-1 and 362 547-2, obviously both running as shunting movement, hit eachother when trying to use the same track at Aachen Hbf at the same time. Nobody was injured, and both vehicles stayed on the rails, but were visibly damaged. The picture was taken about one hour after the accident, note that several broken parts were picked up and placed on the 362 and in the cab window of the 643.
