 180 sets of points and 220 signals in the marshalling yard and main station are controlled by the new box; the 9-metre-long control panel was designed for an expansion of the area to be controlled.For the first time in the history of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, time signals were no longer controlled by cable but by long wave transmissions from the Mainflingen transmitter.The marshalling yard, which is west of the main passenger station and adjacent to it, has been closed and is to be demolished.
