A brand-new DBAG S-Bahn EMU class 423 leaving Köln-Nippes station for Düsseldorf as S11 on the northbound track. The 423 055-3 end can be seen here.

In June 2000 there were only a few 423 in service on this line; most of the trains were still locomotive-hauled, or old 420 EMUs. Note that 423 class EMUs have only one pantograph.
