Here is the crank frame—it has 5 cranks like the frame at Schwindegg, and also the assignment of the signals to the cranks is identical:
Also this frame got new route tags. In contrast to Schwindegg, all five are lettered correctly and frames with silicone. However, the old signal symbol for route D² has been preserved!
There is a Siemens block apparatus for the line to Schwindegg—unfortunately, I forgot to ask how block working towards Ampfing works (which is controlled by a solid-state interlocking at Dorfen):
The following image shows the frame (with a few unfortunate reflections). At the upper left, there is the monitor of the rear end monitoring system, which saves a lot of walking and (during winter) freezing: The monitor is automatically switched on when the route is released by the train. It shows single shot of the rear end of the train. If the signalman observes the required rear end signal, he can signal line clear to the station in the rear. Before the installation of the rear end monitor, the signalman had to walk to the end of te train—for a 600m goods train, he was given 11 minutes, but more during winter and in the night. This is the disadvantage of signal boxes in the center of a station combined with missing axle counters or track circuits on the line ...
Here one more image of the frame ...
... a view of the two-arm starting signal E on the Ampfing side ...
... and finally the station building with the annex containing the lever frame:
