The underground station "Heumarkt" in the city centre of Cologne seen on 15
December 2013, the first day of regular operation. Here, the new underground
line through the city (Nord-Süd-Stadtbahn, running from north to south)
passes under the tracks crossing the city from east to west (Ost-West-Stadtbahn,
currently served by lines 1, 7 and 9). This is the lower level which
houses the Nord-Süd-Stadtbahn. Only the northern section of it from here to
the main station is in service by now, so only the western track (shown here) is
used. A train of line 5, leaded by car 2107, has arrived short before.
Later it will depart towards the other terminal stop, "Am Butzweilerhof", the
destination indicator was already changed.
