Diesel loco 6.305.1 of the Dürener Kreisbahn (DKB) pushes the local
freight train from the siding in Sindorf (on Cologne-Aachen) into the new
highspeed track on 25 February 2002. The track is not yet in regular service,
so the train runs on sight with low speed. As the connection with the old track
was cut, the train has to go back to Horrem. The driver rides on the first car
and controls the loco by radio. The position indicator next to the loco is for
the movable frog, the indicator for the tongues can be seen in the background
near the left edge of the picture.
