An unidentified class 218 crossed the Lechbrücke east of Kaufering with RE 57508, the 11:53 München - Füssen, in a brief sunny interval between the wintry showers on 25 April 2016.
With class 245s rapidly displacing 218s from these services it was good that the only 218 hauled train seen at this location was also the only train to pass in good light.
These trains have traditionally operated with single-deck stock so getting a 218 in sun and on double deckers was doubly pleasing.
