At the end of the trip to Singen, there was something (nowadays) quite special - the DB 218 429-9: The DB 218 429-9 with its RE 3 3057 from Basel Bad Bf to Friedrichshafen-Hafen during the stop in Singen (Htw). Usually, DB 245 are used on this route, so the beautiful DB 218 offers a pleasant change, especially since the elegant locomotive, which used to be seen everywhere, is now quite rare to encounter.
