Train chaos after catenary damage at Tesla – travelers stranded!
The shock in the railway world! Since the early hours of the morning, rail traffic on the important RE1 line between Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder) has been completely at a standstill. The cause? Significant damage to the overhead line that occurred at the threshold of the Tesla factory in Grünheide! Rail customers are in a hurry, but on the catch lock - Hangelsberg route there is nothing but standstill and disappointment.
Today at 8:10 a.m. it was enough: the trains stopped and many travelers climbed out of the train at Erkner station in frustration. Here the journeys ended abruptly and the passengers had to wait for a return journey to Berlin. The gray sky over Berlin only seemed to underline the gloomy situation.
Cause search and emergency management
The experts are on site and are feverishly searching for the cause of the damage. Interestingly, external influence is ruled out as a possibility. Instead, the Tesla factory shuttle buses may have come into focus! Deutsche Bahn emergency managers, federal police officers and technicians are working together to repair the overhead lines. But the further route remains uncertain, and whether a replacement rail service can be set up is still unclear at the moment.
Train traffic comes to a standstill, and the small details of an everyday morning in the capital turn into a drama for travelers! Time is of the essence, but the uncertain fate of the RE1 line remains a hot topic for commuters and travelers.
