At the end of March 2017, I revisited the Köln Hauptbahnhof (main railway station).
It was almost 21 years since I made my first visit here with my dad back in 1996.
I was delighted to see that a few of the old East Germany class 143 electrics were still on the move. Once very common, these old electrics have become relatively scarce.

Thank you for not rudely changing the name of the city to Cologne like so many Americans would do. Yes, it’s Köln.
I always wonder how we would accept it if they would change Philadelphia or San Francisco just because they don’t know how to spell it.
