The freight train hauled by two Class 151 Co-Co electric locomotives is a unit train of coal hoppers. They are UIC Type "Falns" and are designedd to dump outside the rails rather than between the rails like North American cross hoppers. The have two large doors on each side and carry the load like saddle bags across the center sill. It is a very common design in Western and Central Europe.

Thanks for sharing these scenes. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 12/27/18 06:31 Re: Germany 2018 part one Author: mundo Sure enjoy your photos.
Date: 12/28/18 08:45 Re: Germany 2018 part one Author: boejoe I also commend your photography. Always interesting to watch. Never saw two ICE trains coupled together before. Dave, did you see any double stacked containers or does the catenary present clearance issues?
