<b>23-Jul-2009</b>  This week freight traffic is diverted from the main traffic artery between Aachen and Cologne due to construction curfews. The trains continue north through Cologne, west to Grevenbroich between Cologne and Düsseldorf, and then head due south along the 485 to Aachen.  This is a rare opportunity to photograph more than the usual trickle of freight traffic on this line. Here one of the signature trains, the Ambrogio intermodal to Muizen/B, passes the abandoned tower Ln in Lindern, about 30 km north of Aachen. This station was converted from manual block with semaphores only last year, 2008.  <i>145 080 leads the Ambrogio intermodal TEC 40098 (Gallarate - Muizen) through Lindern.</i>
