The genious management by DBAG and maintenance of rail-vehicles, a never ending story... Of course, five IC-coaches and a 'sandwich-traction' of two Tauri is too expensive for substitution of an ICE-EMU. Some nearly 50 years old locomotives will do it too. Here DB AutoZug 113 267-9 at the end of this consist in Wuppertal-Elberfeld (Hbf) on 28th of March 2010.

BTW, this class is not historic, as you can discover here: Stock list DB AutoZug. So directory ".../pix/de/electric/historic/E10_12/" is wrong for 113 267, 113 268 and 113 309.
