423 664-2, a Munich S-Bahn (suburban railway) EMU, was in service on the
NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia, a state in the west of Germany, far away from
Bavaria) S 12 on 20 January 2007, seen at Düren after arrival as
S 8341. As the passenger information system is not programmed for these
duties, the line number is indicated by a sheet of paper at the windscreen and
the annoncement of the stops inside the train is done "manually" (by the driver
using the microphone). Note that the EMUs from Munich do not have a first class
compartment next to the cab, unlike the EMUs normally running in NRW. The
second unit was a normal NRW unit, with first class compartments.
