The station of Horrem on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
seen on 19 October 2001. Looking towards east, this view shows the area for the
highspeed tracks and the platform tracks for the regional trains. On the very
left is track 6, it was used as siding for several months, but now it is cut
off. At this time track 3 on the right is used as siding, note the work train
that waits to depart towards Cologne. The highspeed tracks in the middle are
under construction. They have been covered with ballast, this and some more
ballast has to be tamped under them to bring them up to the level of the
platform tracks. A signal gantry is seen from the back. On the right is the old
line, the track indicator on the platform still only shows a 2, also track 3 is
in operation, too.
