Train evacuated! Discovered dramatic overhead line damage near Munich

Berg am Laim, Deutschland - Yesterday afternoon, on June 10, 2025, there was a dramatic incident on the railway line between Munich and Kufstein. A regional railway, which was on the way to Kufstein with around 200 passengers, was stopped by over -line damage. The damage, which damaged the trainee, made an impossible journey, such as [Radio Charivari] (https://radio-charivari.de/nachrichten-aus-rosenheim-und-der- Region/oberleitungsSchaden-bei-zug-zug- after-kufstein-vacuated).

The evacuation of the passengers was carried out in a well -organized assignment in which the fire brigade was used. The passengers were taken out of the train via ladders and brought to the nearby Hermann Weinhauser-Straße. A large contingent of emergency services, including the fire brigade, police and the emergency manager of the Deutsche Bahn, was on site to cope with the situation.

interruption and consequences for rail traffic

The route between the Munich Ostbahnhof and Grafing was completely closed during the rescue work. This measure meant that several regional trains, especially towards Salzburg and Kufstein, were canceled. In addition, long -distance trains had to be redirected over the tracks of the freight station and had delays of about 20 minutes. The passengers were also offered a rail replacement traffic and referred to a nearby tram stop, such as the [tz] (https://www.z.de/muenchen/stadt/hallo-muenchen/muenchen-zug-vakuier--s-strecke-Sperrt- Oberdie-polwehr-polplücke-Strom-polonian-937777919.html) reported.

The exact cause of the overhead line damage was initially unclear, but the repair work was already intended for the evening. It is important to emphasize that work on overhead line systems is always associated with risks, since accidents usually result from unexpected influences. According to the UVB, such incidents are rare, but can often have serious consequences.

At night it is common for maintenance work to take place on the overhead line so as not to disturb the regular day of the board. Corresponding safety precautions and risk assessments before the work are essential to ensure the security of passengers and personnel.

Yesterday's evacuation and the following measures have once again shown how important a quick reaction of the emergency services and a good organization are in the event of a crisis. Traveling infrastructure is essential for well -functioning traffic connections, and unexpected events such as this overhead line damage remind us of how susceptible the best plans can be.
