Weichenlaterne mit Zusatzfunktion als Wegweiser. Besonders der Hinweis ganz links wird schon so manche Arbeitsunfähigkeit verhindert haben. Oberhausen-Osterfeld am 17. November 2002.
Turnout-signal with additional feature as finger-post. From right to left: New York 8233 km, Moskau 7856 km, Turkey 140m behind the corner (many inhabitants of OB-Osterfeld are immigrants) and a very impotant hint: canteen only 82m.

Two switches with movable frogs seen in Lövenich (on Cologne-Aachen) on 24
September 2001. In the foreground it is clearly visible that the frog closes
the gap that is left open at switches with fixed frogs. Also note that there
are no flangeways. At the switch in the background you can see that there are
two distinct groups of actuators for the frog and for the tongues, and also two
position indicators. The sleepers of the crossover track are divided in the
middle and connected with something that seems to be elastic. Also the rails
are fixed on the sleepers different in the switch area, compared to left track
in the background. As far as I know, these switches have a turnout radius of
1200 m and can be passed with 100 km/h on the diverging route.

Two switches with movable frogs seen in Lövenich (on Cologne-Aachen) on 24
September 2001. This view shows the actuator group for the tongues of the first
switch. Due to the temporary platform on the left, this switch is not yet
equipped with position indicators. As far as I know, these switches have a
turnout radius of 1200 m and can be passed with 100 km/h on the diverging
route.

A double-slip switch under construction seen in Sindorf on the upgraded line
Cologne-Düren
(ABS 4) on 10 October 2001. The western half is already visible, at the
left end is the center with the flangeways for the crossing tracks. The western
frog is on the right in front of the catenary mast. Apart from this parts and
the sleepers, only the outer rails for the diverging routes are by now
assembled. The excavator is about to lift one of the tongues into position.

A double-slip switch under construction seen in Sindorf on the upgraded line
Cologne-Düren
(ABS 4) on 10 October 2001. The outer rails are for the diverging
routes. Between them are the crossing tracks with the flangeways, one of the
tongues was already attached to them. Another tongue lies in the foreground.
Between the crossing rails the inner rails for the diverging routes will be
installed, their fixtures are visible.

On 11 October 2001 the double-slip switch in Sindorf on the upgraded line
Cologne-Düren
(ABS 4)
seems to be finished. The center with the flangeways for the crossing tracks is
more or less in front of the catenary mast next to the switch. Towards the ends
are the sections with the tongues and then the frogs with their flangeways.

The center of the finished double-slip switch seen in Sindorf on the upgraded
line Cologne-Düren
(ABS 4) on 11 October 2001. On each side four rails are coming from each
end, they are (from inside to outside) one rail for the diverging tracks, then
two rails for the crossing tracks and then one rail for the diverging track.
The flangeways for the crossing tracks in the middle are passed by the rails of
the diverging tracks both on the inside and on the outside. It is visible that
the very inner rails continue as tongue, also does the second rail (counted
from the outside). One of the inscriptions contains the term 1:9, as far as I
know this is the angle of the switch.
