Train wreck - Fahr Irlich newspaper article 12-18-18

​

Newspaper article about the train wreck in Fahr Irlich, Germany.

​

Translation:

 "X Fahr-Irlich, 17 Dec. (train collision).

 At the yesterday morning at 5 o'clock on the tracks of the local station,

the collision of two freight trains, as already briefly reported,

resulted in substantial damage to property.

Three railway employees were slightly injured.

Until today, railway operations could only be maintained in a single track.

She is picked up again this morning, the traffic is double-tracked again.

The cause of the accident is probably wrong signal position or overlook the stop signal."
