Dresden Hbf, track 16: Here you see the "emergency coupler" 
between a diesel-electric locomotive class 234 and a DMU class 
605 - it connects to the Scharfenberg coupler of the DMU and to 
the conventional coupling hook of the locomotive. This is needed 
to move the train when it is out of order. You can see that the 
locomotive's buffers have no equivalent on the other side. Also 
it becomes apparent that the driver of a tilting ICE sits much 
lower than in a normal locomotive. In the background you see a 
traffic red locomotive class 143 waiting on the elevated track 
(connected to track 17). Photo taken from the EMU class 415 on 
track 14. 2001-07-07.
