Second stop on the day trip was to get the car approved in a TüV Prufcenter to drive into the Ruhr area, necessary if you want to avoid fines. Third stop was the station of Krefeld Uerdingen. I arrived here by accident, after all it was a trip meant to explore the area, and was pleasantly surprised by what I saw: a nice looking old station building and a Hectorrail engine posing right next to it.

Another surprise was this Akiem engine in SNCF FRET colour scheme, posing next to the Hectorrail loco.
