The eastern end of the LGV 3 (new high-speed line between Aachen and
Liège) south of Hergenrath, seen from the east side on 11 May 2008. The
old line can be seen under the arch bridge on the left, the junction is located
next to the Hammerbrücke visible in the background at the right edge of the
picture. The voltage changeover from 25 kV 50 Hz (new line) to
3 kV DC (old line) is between the arch bridge and the junction.
