As part of the DSTW Mönchengladbach project, the existing interlocking technology at Mönchengladbach main station is being replaced by modern digital interlocking. To this end, a modern digital interlocking (DSTW: Digitale Stellwerke) will be installed on the site of the existing Sp Dr L60 relay interlocking. This includes all the necessary conversions on site - from the track field concentrators (GFK: Gleisfeldkonzentratoren) to the expansion of the track field with terminal boxes for field devices (FeAk: Feldelementanschlusskästen) and terminal cabinets for field devices (FeAs: Feldelementanschlussschränken). The planned DSTW Mönchengladbach will be operated from the Krefeld control centre from 2028. This will function as an operating centre (BSO: Bedienstandort) in future and will be set up as part of the parallel Operations Control Strategy (BSS: Betriebssteuerungsstrategie) project. Mönchengladbach main station and the feeder lines from Viersen and Rheydt will also be equipped with the standardised European Train Control System Level 2 with signals (ETCS L2mS) as part of this project. The technical site (TSO: Technikstandort) will be set up in Wuppertal-Unterbarmen, which will also be realised by the parallel BSS project. Due to the low volume of traffic, it is planned to convert the 3km-long line 2521 into a siding of Mönchengladbach main station. This will allow the feeder journeys to take place as shunting journeys from Mönchengladbach main station and thus improve the quality of operations.
