The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne (ABS 4) seen from the eastern end on 4 July 2005. Next to the station building (built 1874) is track 1 for trains towards Aachen, those trains that pass through towards Cologne without stopping use track 2. Track 3 on the right side of the platform is for regional trains towards Cologne. Most of track 4 on the left is normally unused, on the western end is a short section where the platform is lower. This section is used for trains towards Heimbach, a RegioSprinter is visible in the background. Track 5 at the next platform is used for the S-Bahn (urban trains) towards Cologne. A few trains which circulate between Düren and Aachen in the evening use track 6, behind it is track 7 used for freight trains. The tracks 22 and 23 for the trains towards Linnich are on the other side of the station building. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz (christoph.schmitz2@post.rwth-aachen.de)
