A very small distant signal repeater of the
Ks
system seen at track 4 in Köln-Ehrenfeld on 21 July 2002. On the right
is the Zs3v used to announce speed limits, this one can show a "6" for 60 km/h.
These additional indicators are normally fiber optic displays like here. What
is very uncommon is that the signal head on the left is also a fiber optic
display. At the moment it shows Ks2 (expect stop, the yellow light) with an
additional white light indicating that this is a repeater. The Zs3v is dark. As
this signal is mounted underneath the platform roof, there is not much space,
this is also the reason why the Zs3v is not placed under the signal head as
usual.
