I'm not sure that near Hengelo the category "international station" means any more than "big Dutch station". Anyway, no. 3 is Enschede - the tradesman's entrance. Right down the east end is a non-electric bit of platform that German DMUs from Münster are allowed into, if they knock and ask politely.

A carefully framed shot, I think - you would not think that the contact wire just ends before reaching the red train. But in that part of the world the wire can't continue in use anyway; electrification (on classic lines) always changes at a border - even Luxembourg's.

3 could be Hengele, and 2? well I've seen that picture before . . . Oh yes 2 minutes ago on this very same forum.

Yeah ... no. 2 turned out to be the only "art at station" picture I had for my major Munster post.  Sorry - 3 is not, quite, Hengele but not far from there.  A different international station!

1. is another view of Osnabrück Hbf you've not shown us before. Prompted maybe by the new "man on thingumy" conversation piece.
