Some different train heads seen in Cologne on 5 August 2001 (at 15:53, as you can see). On track 4 (left), PBKA-Thalys 4341 (owned by SNCF) just arrived as THA 9425 from Paris with nearly one hour delay. It will be reversed quickly somewhere on the other side of the Rhine to go back to Paris as THA 9452 at 16:02 from track 8. On track 5 (middle), 406 010-9 is seen at the rear end of ICE 147 from Amsterdam. The train will be reversed in the station to go back to Amsterdam as ICE 150. On track 6 (right), there is an IC cab car at the rear end of IC 529 from Leipzig to Passau.
