The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen on 5 August 2001. The right track will be used for the S-Bahn (urban
trains), the new platform is under construction. The track will be led along
the platform in the future, by now it has to take this way due to the works on
the pedestrian tunnel.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards north on 6 November 2001. In the foreground is track 3 for
the trains towards Cologne. Behind it is the area where track 2, the straight
track towards Cologne, was removed. Track 1 is still in it's old place in this
area. The gap between the next two platforms used to contain the tracks 17, 18
and 19 which ended at a turntable east of the station building. Behind are the
tracks 22 and 23 for the trains to Jülich and some tracks for freight
trains.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen on 27 November 2001. In the foreground is the old track 5 with the low
platform and the temporary bridge. At the left edge is the switch of the next
track, which has to take this way because of the works on the pedestrian
tunnel. At the end of the new platform a staircase and an elevator are being
built. The tracks behind the new platform are under construction.

Obviously this will be the eastern end in the future, so the platform will be
shorter.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards west along track 3 on 27 April 2002. Behind the switch,
track 2 is removed to be built up new. The part of track 2 inside the station
visible on the right is connected to track 1 in the background and used for
trains towards Aachen, note the green exit signal at the right edge. In the new
part of track 2 there will be connections to track 1 and to the tracks on the
south side (left). Between track 2 and the house is the single tracked line to
Heimbach, a Regiosprinter of the Dürener Kreisbahn (DKB) is approaching
from there.

track 2 was built up new. It seems that the connection to the tracks on the
south side (left) was not finally aligned yet. The part of track 2 inside the
station visible on the right is connected to track 1 in the background and used
for trains towards Aachen, note the exit signal at the right edge.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards west from RB 11535 just departing from track 3 (left). In
the center is the new track 2, which is connected to track 1 at the ends of the
station. A temporary platform is under construction. I guess it will be used
only for a short time, later it will be removed to allow the reconstruction of
track 1. On the left is a Lf3 board (with the "E") marking the end of a
temporary speed limit.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards east along track 22 (left) on 22 May 2002. Because of the
construction works, the access for wheelchairs at the western end of the
platform between track 3 and 5 is currently unusable. This way leads to a new
access at the eastern end of the platform.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards south from the platform of track 1 on 22 May 2002. The
platform between track 3 and 5 has been removed west of the staircase (left). I
guess that an elevator will be constructed in this area, connecting the
platform with the pedestrian tunnel. In the background is a new platform with
a staircase on the left and an elevator on the right.

track 5, the platform was broken up to be rebuilt. At the new platform on the
left, the trackbed for track 6 is prepared. At this time track 6 joins track 5
at the switch visible in the foreground, in the future it will run along the
new platform.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen on 5 August 2001. At this new platform the S-Bahn (urban trains) to
Cologne/Bonn and the Euregiobahn to Aachen/Mönchengladbach will meet,
making the neccessary changing for throughgoing passengers as easy as possible.
Note the step in the lower part, the left track will be placed higher than the
right because the class 423 EMUs of the S-Bahn (right track) require 96 cm
platform height above the rails while the Talent DMUs of the Euregiobahn (left
track) require 76 cm for a stepless entrance.

it is not made of a transparent material, what would have looked much better in
my opinion.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards east along the new platform of track 1 on 13 August 2002.
Note that the area where one should not be when a train is passing is marked
with a narrow white line just right of the columns. The wider white line
normally used for this purpose is further left. With it's special surface it is
also intended to guide blind people along the platform, so it makes no sense to
let is pass the columns too nearly.

In this area east of the platform roof the wide white line is nearer at the
edge. Note that the distance is still bigger than on most of the platforms. The
reason is that the trains will pass here with 200 km/h when the line is fully
upgraded.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen looking towards west from the platform of track 6 on 15 August 2002. At
the old staircase between track 3 and 5 the roof and the walls were removed. In
the future the whole western part of the platform will be covered by a roof.
Behind the staircase a new elevator is prepared. At track 5, the platform will
be continued by a lower part for the trains to Heimbach, note that the signals
(the old one and a new one that will replace it) are very far away.

The roof seems to be finished. Track 6 is on the right, the track on the left
does not have a number yet as the old signalbox does not "know" it. It will be
called track 6 when the new signalbox goes into service, some track numbers
will be shifted then.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen from the south side on 19 December 2002. The rebuilt platform between
track 3 and 4 (left) and the new platform between track 5 and 6 (right) are
visible. On the left in the background is the station building with the
platform of track 1 (not visible) next to it. The platform of track 4 (formerly
known as track 5) has a low section at this end for the RegioSprinters of the
Dürener Kreisbahn (DKB). Track 5 (track 6 in the past) is used for the
S-Bahn (urban trains) towards Cologne, a train is waiting there. Next to track
6 is track 7 without a platform. The building at the right edge of the picture
is the new electronic signalbox (elektronisches Stellwerk, ESTW). When it was
taken into service (on 24 November 2002), some of the track numbers were
changed.

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.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen from the platform between track 5 and 6 on 5 May 2006. In the foreground
tracks 6 (at the platform) and 7 (without a platform) are visible. Behind them
four dead-end tracks are under construction, they seem to be intended for the
storage of trains. Obviously three of the tracks will be electrified, so they
can be used to store S-Bahn (suburban railway) EMUs. The visible buffers belong
to the second and the third track, those of the first and the fourth (which is
much shorter) are hidden behind the small building. Note the two interesting
span poles near the buffers. The supports between the second and the third track
seem to be intended for a narrow platform, which will propably be used for the
interior cleaning of the stored trains.

foreground is track 5, which will be renumbered to track 4 in the future, it
will be used for the trains to Münster as far as i know by now. On the
right follows track 6, which will be used for the S-Bahn (urban trains). The
next track is the new track 7 for freight trains.

The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(ABS 4)
seen on 6 November 2001. This is the northern part of the eastern end. The
track on the right is track 3. It used to be a siding track next to the
platform, connected to track 2, the straight track leading towards Cologne. Now
track 2 is removed, it's signal is marked as invalid by a white cross. Track 1
next to it, which was the straight track for the other direction, was shifted
and is visible at the left edge. A temporary level crossing was installed for
the construction works in the area between the tracks. All trains to Cologne
use track 3 and continue over the new track for the S-Bahn (urban trains) in
the background. Near the signal is an Lf1 (the triangle with the 8) that
announces (or, in this case, repeats) a temporary speed restriction to 80 km/h.
The Lf2 (with the A) marks the beginning of the restriction.
