The tram station Kalscheurer Weg in Cologne seen from the southern end (looking
towards the city center) on 26 August 2003. Next to the rails, the street
surface was renewed and raised by some centimeters. This is neccessary for the
4000 series low-floor trams (entrance level about 38 cm) which will be used on
line 12 in the future. In some years the Zollstock branch will be rebuilt with
new middle platforms allowing a stepless entrance. But then this station will
be removed, as the distance to the neighbour stations Zollstockgürtel and
Gottesweg is very small.
