The upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
seen from the eastern end of the northern platform at K&ouml;ln-Ehrenfeld on 15
February 2003. The tracks 3 (right) and 4 (left) next to the platform are used
for regional and long distance passenger trains. Further right is track 2 for
the S-Bahn (urban trains), track 1 is still missing. On the left edge is track
6 for freight trains. In the background track 2, 3 and 4 curve to the right,
while track 6 stays on the left. Between them two of the six bridge girders at
the Subbelrather street are still under construction. At the right edge of the
picture is an Lf6 signal (the orange board) announcing a permanent speed
restriction of 70 km/h. The yellow board with the "5" is an Lf1, normally used
to announce a temporary speed restriction (of 50 km/h). In this case it is used
as a repeater, the Lf2 (with the "A") below already indicates the beginning of
the restriction. In track 3 and 4 you can see the cables of the LZB
(Linienzugbeeinflussung) which is not yet in service.
