	Parallel to the S-Bahn tracks, ~~upto~~ junction Linden, runs the brown colored line 2550.

	On the top ~~leftside~~ you can see the short freight line between the stations of Gruiten and Vohwinkel (blue line). The line is electrified, but has only one track.

Originally, this was the connection towards Vohwinkel Gbf (freight yard) but that hasn't existed for years. Therefore, this line no longer has any special meaning.

	Nowadays it simply serves to relieve the red mainline. If for example, a RE train comes out of the direction of Gerresheim, while at the same moment freight train from Solingen is approaching, we could either let the freight train stop at junction Linden, or we try to solve it in the most energy-friendly way by sending the freigh train towards Vohwinkel via the blue line. In this way we kan keep both trains moving upto Vohwinkel, where have to shuffle the cards again.		Nowadays it simply serves to relieve the red mainline.

	In case of disturbances on the S-Bahn into the direction Wuppertal, you can easily divert the trains over the (red) mainline (Fernbahn). However, doing so means that the S-Bahn services will have to skip their stops at Zoological Garden, Sonnborn and Steinbeck! Same thing for the opposite direction. When the Fernbahn can not be used, we can divert the trains via the S-Bahn tracks towards Wuppertal Hbf, though this might make that we hit the capacity limits of these tracks.
