Electric locomotive 187387 arriving at Bad Bentheim with a freight working from Sweden, probably lorry parts from Volvo. The overhead wiring here can be switched between the German standard 15 kV 16.7 Hz and the Dutch standard 1500 V dc. The locomotive is presently running under 15 kV 16.7 Hz and will shortly stop at a signal, and drops its pantograph. The supply voltage will then be switched to 1500 V dc and the 186 will restart the train on that supply.
