Detail view of 643 216-5, which is waiting at Herzogenrath (on Aachen-Mönchengladbach) on 1 April 2003. The lights which will be needed for the planned tram operation are already present. Between each head light and the rear light next to it, there is a direction indicator (yellow) at the bottom and a braking light (red) at the top. On the sidewall of the cab the opening intended for the mirror is also visible (very low in the red area). Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz

The interior of 643 216-5, which is waiting at Herzogenrath (on Aachen-Mönchengladbach) on 1 April 2003. In the background in front of the stairs, there is an area with folding seats next to the door, intended for persons with bicycles, prams and so. Note the additional handles at the seats, this is neccessary because the braking ability is higher due to the planned tram operation. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz

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.

643 222-3 departs from Stolberg Hbf as RB 11574 (Stolberg-Altstadt - Herzogenrath-August-Schmidt-Platz) on 18 March 2005. Note that the area below the windscreen was "painted" white, obviously to enhance visibility. The second car forms RB 11524 (Eschweiler-Weisweiler - Herzogenrath-August-Schmidt-Platz), both trains were coupled together in the freight area of this station (in the background, where another class 643.2 DMU is visible). The line from Herzogenrath to Herzogenrath-Alt-Merkstein (formerly known as Merkstein-West) and Herzogenrath-August-Schmidt-Platz (formerly known as Merkstein) was reopened in December 2004 and is served once each hour by the trains which used to terminate at Herzogenrath in the past.

The distant signal of Eschweiler-Weisweiler is visible in the background. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz (christoph.schmitz2@post.rwth-aachen.de)
