Infrastruktur: Suspected sabotage damages rail cables
Düsseldorf - Following suspected sabotage along the railway line connecting Backnang and the Maubach district in Baden-Württemberg, trains are now running mostly on time at the affected location. The Rems-Murr district's track was only closed from midnight to 3:30 AM on Sunday night for repairs to the damaged cables. Police suspect the cables were intentionally cut and are investigating the case under the suspicion of sabotage.
According to a spokesperson for the railway, no construction work was carried out on the affected section of track. The Deutsche Bahn learned of the issue through a system alert, the spokesperson said. The damaged cables caused a so-called Rota illumination at the location, which signals that a particular stretch of track or signaling section is occupied or blocked by a train, she explained.
