The upgraded line Cologne-Düren (ABS 4) seen looking towards southeast from the old platform on the north side in Sindorf on 28 October 2001. This is the temporary end of the single track that is built for the S-Bahn (urban trains) south of the old line. It will soon be continued, the first ballast layer is already prepared. Later the old tracks will be replaced by the highspeed tracks which will be further north. The two right tracks in the picture are very close together, this might be the reason for the short catenary bracket above the old track. On the right is a Ne6 that announces the temporary platform about one kilometer ahead.
