Alright, here's something different. Amsterdam Centraal Station a couple years ago, two ICM trains await departure on tracks 13 and 11. These multiple unit electric trains are nicknamed "Koploper" which literally translates to "Frontrunner," but can also allude to "walk-through head." The large opening below the cab was intended to allow multiple trains to be connected together and allow passengers to pass between cars with cabs. However, the door mechanisms proved unreliable and were eventually sealed off several years ago with the large plates seen here. I think they kinda look like ugly robots.
Nearly 200,000 people pass through this station each day. In addition to local and regional services on NS, the Dutch railway, there is international service on Eurostar, ICE, and Thalys to places like Brussels, Paris, London, and Frankfurt.
