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 from the bridge at the eastern end on 9 August 2001. The new highspeed
tracks (track 4 and 5 from left to right) are in the middle, near their ends
(of course they will be continued) are the switches for the platform tracks
(track 3 at the left and track 6 on the right). Track 3, which is used for
trains that have to be overtaken, is by this time connected to track 4 with a
temporary switch, i guess the other switch is to near to the old line on the
left. On the right is a temporary access to the tracks 6 and 7 (on the right
side of the new platform, only for freight trains) which are not in use at the
moment.
