Derailment at Saarbrücken marshalling yard (Germany)

Due to a derailment at Saarbrücken marshalling yard, it has been necessary since 06 December 2022 evening to reroute the international freight trains

Due to a derailment at Saarbrücken marshalling yard, it has been necessary since 06 December 2022 evening to reroute the international freight trains to/from France (Forbach) via Saarbrücken main station. Freight trains with a planned change of personnel in the marshalling yard have to change personnel in Saarbrücken main station instead. In this case, it is necessary that the new driver is already waiting in the main station before the freight train arrives, as there is no capacity to keep freight trains waiting longer. Please inform your staff about this circumstance. The interruption of the connection from/to Saarbrücken marshalling yard will last several days. We will keep you updated.
