Off the Bridge

I originally wanted to do a feature journal today, but kinda lost motivation and saved it for later. So instead, I give you a 143, since it is my favourite engine after the 110 at the moment. Of engines that are still in service of course, as the 103 would top everything, but it's not really running except for two or three of them.

Same regional line as from my previous shot:



This somewhat cleaner specimen has just rolled off the famous Hohenzollern Bridge and is about to enter Cologne Central Station, with me standing on the end of a platform to shoot this. This was back in August, and I know of no current plans to replace them, despite their top speed being lower than that of the carriages they pull.


UPDATE: Since the bridge is deemed as impressive by most, I thought I'd add some other shots of that here:
