Köln-Deutz station (lower level), viewing South, June 2000.

Cars and motorcycles are being loaded onto DBAG automobile transport wagons for a southbound train.

The wagons are placed on a siding; the two through tracks of the lower level station are to the right. In the background, the upper level station can be seen, with the S-Bahn platform in front. The upper level has 10 tracks, of which two do not have a platform. The black "dome" behind the platform roofs is above the station hall.

On the left, behind the wagons, a DBAG class 361 diesel shunter waits for the loading to be completed. The loading tracks have no overhead wire.
