The eastern end of the station at Königsdorf on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren (ABS 4) seen on 29 December 2001. On the right is the platform between the tracks for the S-Bahn (urban trains). The visible part around the small buildings seems to be temporary, the rest of the platform looks much better. On the left is the area for the highspeed tracks. The southern one is already assembled everywhere, the northern one only in the background where also both tracks seem to be finally aligned. As the whole traffic will run on them for some months, temporary platforms are needed for the trains that stop here. The end of the southern temporary platform can be seen. Some Ks signals are standing at the end of the platform area. At the S-Bahn track is a block signal, at the highspeed track is a distant signal repeater.
