Freight train derails in Singen: Massively disturbed rail traffic!

in Singen on Lake Constance there was a significant incident on Tuesday afternoon when a freight train derailed during a maneuvering. This incident has led to massive impairments in the region's rail traffic. Initial information reports that there was no violation of people. However, the derailed train caused considerable damage by damaging an overhead line and kinking a current mast, which led to the switch -off of the current in the entire train station. Replacement buses have been set up for travelers because the rail traffic is interrupted both between Radolfzell on Lake Constance and Engen and between Singen and Thayngen in Switzerland. The exact period of the disorder is currently still unclear.

effects on rail traffic

The latest information shows the far -reaching consequences of the current incident in Singen. Deutsche Bahn has announced that due to the damage to the overhead line, only diesel -powered trains can run between Singen and Schaffhausen. Travelers have to prepare for longer waiting times.

The current rail disruption shows how vulnerable the rail network is even on the case of simple shunting rides. BNN describes that the situation is currently tense and that an end to the disorder is not yet foreseeable. However, the competent authorities are working to fix the damage quickly and to restore rail traffic in the region.

In addition to the technical problems affecting the rail infrastructure, the aspects of data protection are also relevant when it comes to using online services from Deutsche Bahn. The Deutsche Bahn informs that the use of the website is generally possible without providing personal data, but data is processed if special services are used. This is particularly important when booking tickets, since the user's consent is required.

This event underlines both the challenges of rail traffic in Germany and the need for extensive maintenance of the infrastructure to avoid such incidents in the future.
