On 29 September 2007 three gantries with new signals were erected between Aachen Hbf and Rothe Erde with the aid of a Super Puma helicopter. This cantilever was placed on a column opposite to the distant signal repeater visible in the lower left corner of the picture. Later two distant signal repeaters for the left and the medium track (there are three parallel tracks in this area, note the catenary configuration) were attached to it.
