Goat chaos on the tracks: rail traffic between Lörrach and Zell stopped

Fahrnau, Deutschland - On Friday morning, a sheep chaos caused incisions in rail traffic between Lörrach and Zell (Wiesental). At 7:50 a.m., the federal police received the alarming reference to 24 escaped goats, ten of which were bravely frolicking on the tracks. Immediate measures were necessary - the tracks were completely blocked!

The 37-year-old owner finally arrived at the scene and saved his herd by bringing all the goats back into the enclosure. How these animal escape could plan remains a mystery. After only 40 minutes, the travelers counted on greenish tracks when the emergency manager of DB AG released the route again. A shrill breath for rail customers!
