The station of Königsdorf 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 western end on 15 February 2003. The two tracks next to the
platform on the right are used by the S-Bahn (urban trains), these are the only
trains stopping here. All other trains use the two tracks on the left. They
will be equipped with LZB (Linienzugbeeinflussung) to be used at speeds up to
250 km/h. As visible in the southern track, the cables are already laid, but
not yet in service. The narrow "platform" in front of the old station building
is of course not accessible. The pedestrian bridge in the background allows to
access the platform from both sides of the line.
