The upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
in the western parts of Sindorf, seen from the south side on 10 September 2002.
The gap in the acoustic wall was left for an old catenary mast which has now
been removed. The new masts carry the three catenaries for the two highspeed
tracks (between the masts) and the track for the S-Bahn (urban trains). On the
upper parts there are some feeding cables which transport electricity along the
line, the one on this side is not yet installed. Behind the other acoustic wall
are two tracks of a (non-electrified) siding.
