Signal "77 71" at the S-Bahn (urban trains) station Köln (Cologne)
Steinstraße seen on 23 May 2004. It is placed at the left S-Bahn track
coming from the city center, behind this station these tracks join those for
the regional trains. It is not possible to change from the left track to the
right there, so a Zs6 ("Gleiswechselanzeiger", says that the train uses the
left track) has always to be shown at this signal. Thus the Zs6 is just a
rectangular board (between the signal head and the number board). A fixed Zs6
is very rare, this is the first one I have ever seen in reality. The following
switch always limits the speed to 100 km/h, so a fixed Zs3 (speed indicator)
with a "10" is also present.
