	Wuppertal Hbf is the real heart of this panel. It has five platform tracks that lies along the two aforementioned lines. The tracks 1 and 2 are for the long-distance and regional trains. The trains of RE4 (104xx), RE7 (107XX) and RE13 (202XX) services halt here. In addition, these tracks are used for letting freight trains, running over the Fernbahn (mainline), pass throug. Track 3 is mainly used by the Regional trains of RB48 to turn around here and go back to Köln or Bonn-Mehlem. Otherwise, track 3 is also used for overhauls, in case that can not be done at Oberbarmen or Vohwinkel. The tracks 4 and 5 are for the S-Bahn trains and the RB47 trains. The S8 towards Vohwinkel has its scheduled stop on track 4, and track 5 for trains towards Oberbarmen. During weekdays (until evening), the S9 from Essen ends here and turns around on track 5. During the weekens and during the weekdays' evening hours, these service end and turn around on track 4. For the RB47 it is almost the opposite: During weekdays (until evening), these trains end here and turn around on track 4. During the weekens and during the weekdays' evening hours this service ends on track 5. From there they continue to track 23 to turn around there. Track 23 is not electrified, therefor you need to apply the [[Set Route To Track Without OLE Button\|FfrT]] for setting a route into that track. Alternatively you can let them turnaround in Steinbeck 48 or 49. However, you must then change the movement orders accordingly and notify the driver as such.

			Track 79 was used to stable trains. It has been removed a long while ago. As adjustments for this change would have too much impact for the panel, it had been to decided to take the track out of order and lock it permanently on the panel.

	The Wuppertal main station normally runs with auto fleeting enabled (SB), as there is not much variety in most train routes. For the few exceptions (eg, RB47 or RB48) you must not forget to set the train route before you get beaten by the auto fleeting system. You could disable the auto fleeting of the signals, if you do not feel comfortable with this during your first shifts. But remember that everything has to be done manually then. The auto fleeting of a signal can be disabled using the [[Deactivate Fleeting Button\|SBRT]], but you certainly knew that already.

	For exit routes starting at signal R65-R69 towards the main station Hbf you can use auxiliary buttons ~~EXLT48~~ (towards signal R48) and ~~EXLT49~~ (towards signal R49). You can also use the auxiliary buttons for setting shunt routes to the corresponding signals. Of course, the gray instead of the gray-red buttons should be used. From here, the routes are completely set up to the target signal. In the opposite direction, you can also use the auxiliary buttons ~~EXT48~~ and ~~EXT49~~ to set the entire train route from Wuppertal Hbf towards the shunt signals 48 and 49. The same also applies here for setting shunt routes.

	The freight station Steinbeck Gbf is part of the main station. The freight yard has had its best days nowadays. During the daytime there are only a handful of trains running there. For example, from Monday to Friday, a train from Köln-Kalk Gbf to W-Langerfeld has its scheduled stop here on the track 66. In case this track is closed for whatever reason you can also use any other track in the yard. '''Attention!''' Do set your routes into the freight yard in time (see table below: Vohwinkel ➨ Gbf)		The freight station Steinbeck Gbf is part of the main station. The freight yard has had its best days nowadays.

	The connection Bayer / WSW can be found on the right side of Gbf, which is the branching tracks from track 161. You can only set a shunt route towards this connection. The connection itself is indicated with "n. Bayer" only. WSW stands for the "Wuppertal Stadtwerke", which operates a coal power plant.
