DB Class 120—Polyphase traction pioneer-Crossing the Rhein

The six track railway bridge over the Rhein at Koln offers a continuous parade of trains.

In just a few minutes I made many interesting photos.

In this image, on of DB’s Class 120 electrics whirrs over the massive bridge. This electric was among the earliest commercially-built locomotives using a modern three-phase traction system. It was among the more unusual trains I photographed on the evening of September 2, 2015.
