Gone are the days of loco hauled international daytime trains in Western Europe. On 10 September 1999 international train with 101 034 and NMBS stock stands at Aachen Hbf for the ride to Oostende via Liége and Bruxelles-Midi. The 101 however, will be swapped for an NMBS DC-machine and cannot continue into Belgium.

End of an era: the days of Class 101 hauling fast trains through Germany rapidly draw to a close, so to catch an advertising 101 is nowadays a rare chance. On 23 September 2026 however, DB 101 039 stood at Nürnberg Hbf, advertising for the Swiss national park -a tad away from Bavaria however.
