The Zweckel junction was monitored by the mechanical signal box Abzw from 1911 at kilometer 10.93. In addition to the semaphore signals and switches, the Söllerstraße level crossing to the north of the signal box was closed from here. The crossing was used for non-motorized private traffic, the barriers have - otherwise rare - metal curtains to protect against crawling under and are operated by a hand crank. The signal box and the level crossing are listed as architectural monuments in the city of Gladbeck.
