Last Saturday evening there was a blatant incident on the speed track between Hamburg and Berlin, which caused a large rail chaos. Two girls between the ages of 12 and 14 stayed near the tracks near Grabow around 7:20 p.m. and thus ensured the route. An approaching freight train discovered the two and slowed down in time to the standstill to prevent worse things. However, this exemplary reaction led the route to be blocked for around 50 minutes, which had massive consequences for rail traffic.

A total of 32 trains were delayed and the railway recorded over 1,178 minutes of train cancellations, which resulted in almost 20 hours of complications in rail traffic. Fortunately, the two girls remained unharmed and were handed over to their legal guardians in Parchim around 9 p.m.

dangers on train systems

The Federal Police use this incident to point out the dangers of rail systems again. Children and adolescents in particular often have a false feeling of security and underestimate the risks. "Railway facilities are not playgrounds," warns the Federal Police . The number of unauthorized stays on tracks increases primarily with the warmer temperatures, which makes the appeal all the more urgent.

The dangerous thing? Trains drive at an extremely high speed and are often hardly heard. Modern equipped ICE trains, which rush through the train stations at around 160 km/h, have a long braking distance of up to 1,000 meters. Many people, especially young people, do not understand that trains cannot avoid obstacles and that even a little moment of carelessness could have fatal consequences.

Enlightenment and prevention

In order to raise awareness of the dangers, the

Activities such as climbing on freight trains, abbreviations about tracks or making selfies in the track area are particularly dangerous. On -site staff ensures that these behaviors are avoided and informs passers -by about the existing security rules. A central element of this Enlightenment is to comply with the security line, which may only be crossed after the train has been.

The Deutsche Bahn also points out that entering track systems is prohibited and an individual ban on stay with high risk and possible fines of up to 5,000 euros can be punished. When hazardous to the railway operation, even prison terms of up to 10 years.

In summary, it remains to be said: Our lanes are reliable means of transport, but the right behavior on rail systems is of the utmost importance. This is the only way we can make sure that we all get to the destination without prejudice.
