The northern end of the former station Köln-Bocklemünd on the line to
Grevenbroich and Mönchengladbach, seen looking towards north on 11
December 2004. Passenger service was cancelled around 1970, but the station was
in use as overtaking station up to 1999, as far as I know. Platform edges have
been removed, but the entrances of the pedestrian tunnel are still visible (the
eastern one is in the picture). Also the red brick building seems to belong to
the station. In the background the Freimersdorfer Weg level crossing is
visible. Most likely it was covered by the signals of the station in the past,
nowadays there are some block signals. The crossing is equipped with a radar
scanner (note the "egg" between the signal and the catenary mast), but the mast
with the camera is still present (behind the catenary mast).
