Chaos at Bruchsaler Bahnhof: overhead line tears - trains stand still!

On Tuesday afternoon, March 4, 2025, a massive incident at the Bruchsal station caused excitement and considerable disorders in rail traffic. At 11:35 a.m., the Bruchsal fire brigade was alerted after a supervision between the tracks 3 and 4 was torn down. The demolished line fell on a train, the passengers of which had already left the train and the platform when the rescue workers arrived. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but parts of the overhead line were also on the platforms, which made the eviction work difficult, as fireworld.at . The fire brigade blocked the access to the affected tracks for the safety of travelers, while the federal police and the emergency manager of Deutsche Bahn helped the evacuation.

The disorder of the overhead line caused the train station to be closed to train traffic until Wednesday morning, which resulted in massive delays and failures. Travelers had to wait for a rail replacement traffic, which was only sufficiently sufficient, reports bnn.de . Trains failed or were diverted, while many passengers, including numerous fools on the way to move, were confronted with long waiting times. Some even had to go back to Karlsruhe because they couldn't get anywhere because of the blocking of the station.

In the evening, the overhead line repair work was completed and the Deutsche Bahn gave the all -clear: all rail traffic can now drive again. While the circumstances led to considerable displeasure among travelers - for example, rail replacement traffic was so overcrowded that not all passengers found space - the difficulties now seem to be over and the company at the Bruchsal station stabilizes again.
