Thanks to the rapid action, the damage to rail traffic was limited. Only the regional express from Karlsruhe to Heilbronn had to temporarily turn his journey in Eppingen. Replacement buses were used to quickly bring passengers to their destination. The disabilities in rail traffic caused by the derailed train have already been remedied within half an hour, such as the SWR Aktuell .
