A carbuncle on the face of two old friends! Sunday morning's southbound Ekol was failed at Garching and 266.447 was sent from Mühldorf to rescue it. The 266 (the locals call them trash cans) was photographed with dead 217.002 and 212.249 in a rare patch of sunlight as it waited for a path south from Garching on the morning of 27 October 2013.
