The station of Düren at the end of the upgraded line from Cologne
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
seen on 6 November 2001. This is the northern part of the eastern end. The
track on the right is track 3. It used to be a siding track next to the
platform, connected to track 2, the straight track leading towards Cologne. Now
track 2 is removed, it's signal is marked as invalid by a white cross. Track 1
next to it, which was the straight track for the other direction, was shifted
and is visible at the left edge. A temporary level crossing was installed for
the construction works in the area between the tracks. All trains to Cologne
use track 3 and continue over the new track for the S-Bahn (urban trains) in
the background. Near the signal is an Lf1 (the triangle with the 8) that
announces (or, in this case, repeats) a temporary speed restriction to 80 km/h.
The Lf2 (with the A) marks the beginning of the restriction.
