Trains in Germany stopped due to damage

In northern Germany on the morning of October 8, the movement of long-distance trains was paralyzed for three hours due to problems with dispatcher communications. Deutsche Bahn said it was a possible sabotage. Spiegel reports.

Due to the incident, trains of the ICE, IC and EC types were forced to stop, and regional trains in Lower Saxony and Bremen also stopped. Within hours, the network was restored, but Deutsche Bahn warned that technical failures could still occur during the day.

A spokesperson for the company said that the cause was physical damage to cables critical to train traffic, and that the relevant authorities had launched an investigation.

Several sources connected to the railway have confirmed to journalists that the GSM-R radio network, which provides communication between dispatchers and drivers and the transmission of other data, has received damage. This has been compared to the “interface” between trains and infrastructure.

According to the publication’s unofficial information, received from sources in law enforcement agencies, unknown people damaged the cable on the Berlin-Krakow line, and a similar damage was found near Dortmund. Whether the actions of the attackers are connected is now being investigated.

According to the interlocutors, for such sabotage, you need to have information about the railway and understand how it works.

Later in the day, the transport minister will appear with a special briefing.

Remember that a train and a locomotive collided in Spain, 30 were injured. The incident took place on Sunday evening in the village of Vila-seca in the province of Tarragona.
