View onto the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
looking towards west to the street bridge near Merzenich on 23 August 2001.
On the left the tracks for the S-Bahn (urban trains) are under construction. A
new station will be built near the bridge, the space for the platform between
the tracks is clearly visible. On the right where by now the old line runs the
highspeed tracks will be built.
