Title: ICE train on the platform.
Post by: capeklr on February 17, 2017, 02:38:27 PM

The German railways are in the news again.
At least no injuries this time as the train was empty.

Something like this happened at Plymouth station back in 1997 when i was living there. The train was 1 coach longer than the driver counted...it kinda helps if your driver can count I guess... :innocent:

Sunday evening in Hamburg the overhead wire broke and landed on a ICE train.
15KV, the people had to wait for hours to get out of the train.
