The substation at the eastern end of the LGV 3 (new high-speed line between Aachen and Liège) seen on 11 May 2008. As the old line (on the left, junction of the two lines in the background) is electrified with 3 kV DC, this is also the end of the section electrified with 25 kV 50 Hz. The building on the right seems to be a signalbox, of course uncrewed and remote-controlled.
