New transformer station near Sindorf on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
seen on 8 August 2001. The masts have no religious meaning ;-). It is still
under construction and not connected to the catenary by now, also the power
line that will bring the electricity is not yet built. Some masts of a power
line are visible far in the background, but they belong to a normal (50 Hz)
power line, note that german railways use a frequency of 16.7 Hz, so seperate
power lines are neccessary.
