Railway crossing of DB line 6653 Abandoned railway crossing of the Werdau–Mehltheuer line at route km 9.5 between Teichwolframsdorf and Trünzig. View towards Trünzig. Photo taken in March 2000, 10 months after termination of passenger traffic on 30 May 1999. Clearly visible is the space right of the track which was equipped with a second track for few years between 1938 and 1946. The street is connecting the villages of Trünzig and Langenbernsdorf.

| In the course of modernisation of the railway line from Kiel to Luebeck new automatic level crossing barriers were installed on two streets in the town of Preetz. Deutsche Bahn, however, had forgotten to apply for approval of the equipment used from the authorities before installation. Hence for many weeks railway workers had to manually install barriers across the street before each train passed. 2004 J. C. Stiller (stiller_the_at_symbol_brain.uni-freiburg.de) |

Hence for many weeks railway workers had to manually install provisional barriers before each train passed and remove them afterwards.

The level crossing in Buir on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(ABS 4)
seen from the south side on 13 August 2002. All trains use the new highspeed
tracks in the background at this time. In the foreground the tracks for the
S-Bahn (urban trains) are under construction, for this reason the crossing is
closed for cars for some weeks. For pedestrians and bikers a temporary path
passes the building site. Note that only two of the four barriers are opened.
The southern barriers used to be further south in the past, when the trains
used the old tracks located where now the S-Bahn is built. If the level
crossing is still in service when the S-Bahn starts, it will be neccessary to
move them back.

Temporary level crossing near Sindorf on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(ABS 4)
seen on 8 August 2001. The first and the third track are in service for some
months, the second was just built, so an access to the building site between
the tracks was needed. In the background is a new transformer station.

19 Jan 2001, Fichtenberg, Germany La 2 fuer Bahnübergang. Die Fahrzeit des Zuges verlägert sich hierdurch um ziemlich exakt eine Minute. Speed restriction to 20km/h (yellow triangles) for a level crossing. Timing the train I found that this causes an increase in travel time of pretty exacly one minute.

19 Jan 2001, Fichtenberg, Germany La 2 fuer Bahnübergang. Die Fahrzeit des Zuges verlägert sich hierdurch um ziemlich exakt eine Minute. Das Problem wird von der Eisenbahnaufsicht (EBO) in Fahrzeugen gesehen, die nach links in diesen Holzlagerplatz abbiegen wollen, durch Gegenverkehr daran gehindert werden könnten und dann mit dem hinteren Ende den Übergang blokierten. Speed restriction to 20km/h for this level crossing. Timing the train I found that this causes an increase in travel time of pretty exacly one minute. The problem, according to federal administration, is the possibility of long vehicles wanting to turn left into the timber storage area which might get stopped by oncoming traffic and thus fouwling the level crossing.

In the small village of Olef, the Oleftalbahn Kall-Hellenthal runs across the
village square. Two men have to walk in front of the train to warn the traffic.
The line is served only on sundays in summer. The picture was taken through the
front window of RegioSprinter 6.001.1 of the Rurtalbahn, running towards Kall on
9 October 2005.

In the small village of Olef, the Oleftalbahn Kall-Hellenthal runs across the
village square (Dorfplatz). So this St. Andrew's Cross (meaning "give way to
trains") has an additional sign "Im gesamten Bereich des Dorfplatzes" ("In the
whole area of the village square"). The line is served only on sundays in
summer. Picture taken on 9 October 2005.

A radar scanner at the Freimersdorfer Weg level crossing in Cologne, located at
the northern end of the former station Bocklemünd (on the line to
Mönchengladbach), seen on 11 December 2004. In the foreground is the
Scanner itself, located at one corner of the crossing. At the three other
corners radar reflectors are placed (one visible in the background), which are
used for a self test of the device. Radar scanners are a relatively new
possibility to check if the crossing is free, by now this is normally done by
someone watching the crossing directly or by video. At least in Germany each
crossing with full barriers has to be checked if it is free after the barriers
were lowered. As this area is now controled from a central signalbox in
Duisburg, it is a big advantage that the check is automatic.

A radar reflector at the Freimersdorfer Weg level crossing in Cologne, located
at the northern end of the former station Bocklemünd (on the line to
Mönchengladbach), seen on 11 December 2004. These reflectors are placed at
three corners of the crossing, while at the fourth is the radar scanner itself,
which uses the reflectors for a self test. The reflector consists of a
rectangular corner of three panels, which reflects the radar beam right back
into the direction where it came from, and a cover. In the background you can
see the block signals which covers the crossing from trains coming from
Mönchengladbach. The signals can not be set to the proceed aspect until
the barriers are down and the radar scanner has reported that the crossing is
free.
