ETCS Trackside equipment of the first part (Aachen-Oberausen) of the German part of the Corridor F Aachen-Warsaw/Belarus

European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), composed of a unique European Train Control System (ETCS) and radio system GSM-R, is designed to gradually replace the existing incompatible national systems throughout Europe.

The installation of the ERTMS along Freight Corridor F Aachen-Berlin-Warsaw-Terespol is a major project aiming to facilitate and increase the freight traffic between the EU's Central and Eastern Member States.

This project involves the trackside installation of the ERTMS/ETCS Level 1 and Level 2 system along the section Aachen-Oberhausen (120 km); the first part of the corridor located in Germany. This section will be operational by the end of 2012.

This project has been cancelled.
