Farewell to Paris-Munich conventional daytime services (Ultimate day!!!):

Class 181.2 of DB-FV, seen heading the very last EC 64 ever (München Hbf ---> Paris Est), shortly after entering the Rhine Bridge, which marks the border between Kehl (Germany) and Strasburg (France).

At this stage, this train still runs in Germany, while both the front pantograph (15kV-16 2/3Hz AC) and the rear pantograph (25kV-50Hz AC) are down, as this formation is getting very close to the voltage change-over...

Pont du Rhin-Rheinbruck (Kehl Grenze).

9th June 2007.
