The old station of Sindorf on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
seen looking eastwards from the Europaring bridge on 11 October 2001. The
southern siding on the right was removed, the first ballast layer for the
single track of the S-Bahn (urban trains) is prepared. The old main tracks in
the center are still in place, also is the northern siding on the left. North
of it the siding is built up new to leave more space for the highspeed tracks,
and a second track is added. The switch has wooden sleepers while the other new
tracks have concrete sleepers. On the southern main track THA 9433
(Paris-Cologne) runs through the station.
