    Hello,

    while driving the DB 83161, I remarked, that the dispatcher wants to route you for some reason over the opposite track between Langerwehe and Horrem, so you'll get a red light on the last signal before Langerwehe for your train, and then, you'll have to wait for the RE 9 (07:21 Uhr Langerwehe) and the RE 1 (7:47 Uhr Langerwehe) not sure, if I'll get a green light after the RE 1 crosses my train, will have to wait for another 20 minutes...(already waiting since 7:05 o' clock). Ok, now I have to0 wait for ICE 18, and I tend to think, that I also have to wait for 83152...
    83152 just passed me, now I have to wait for the next RE9...so let's see if I get a green signal after...80 minutes !! waiting time. The RE9 is gone...now I have to wait for the next RE1...so somewhat around 100 minutes waiting time because of the alternated pathing. By the way...I can't change the pathing, setting it to the right track, I get a 'not reachable' message. Finally a green at 8:49:19...104 minutes late...actually I tend to think, that the RE9-formation,that should have started at 8:49:00 in Köln is the one that is waiting behind me...traffic jam from Langerwehe to Eilendorf...after 105 minutes waiting time...

    One final remark...I noticed a temporary speed reduction somewhere around Düren on my 'original' track...not sure, if the rerouting maybe was caused by this event...just for completness of the picture...
