Alter Loreley Tunnel portal Alter Loreley Tunnel south portal. This 368 metres long tunnel was built between 1859 and 1861 and put into service with two tracks in 1862.

Oberau tunnel monument Oberau tunnel monument, remembering the first mainline tunnel on the European Continent. Built between 1837 and 1839 on the Leipzig–Dresden railway, the tunnel was 513 metres long. From 1 July 1933 to July 1934 the Oberau Tunnel was opened up and turned into a cutting, because the tunnel was not wide enough as the loading gauges was increased. Previously the distance between the two tracks in the tunnel did not allow two trains to pass. The material of the monument origins from the scrapped tunnel portal.

The Ulhaus tunnel in Langerwehe seen from the north-west side on 11 May 2008, with the main line Cologne-Aachen in the background. It will house a new line to Eschweiler-Weisweiler (currently the terminal station of the branch line coming from Stolberg Hbf via Eschweiler-Talbahnhof) later, of course the ground be excavated some more after the concreting of the ceiling. From December 2008 on Euregiobahn services currently ending at Eschweiler-Weisweiler will be extended to Langerwehe (every train, half-hourly) and even Düren (every second train, hourly) to enhance the connection towards Cologne.
