Rail chaos after embankment fire: long-distance traffic affected until Tuesday!
In Brandenburg, an unfortunate incident is causing massive disruption to train traffic. On Monday there was a fire near the tracks in Bernau near Berlin, which led to a signal box malfunction and is now affecting long-distance traffic. Deutsche Bahn is reporting significant disruption, particularly to ICE connections between Berlin and the popular Baltic Sea resort of Binz. The reason for the disruption is an embankment fire that caused damage to the signal box, as well as the Daily Mirror as well as that Northern Courier report.
The effects cannot be overlooked. Affected ICE trains on the Berlin – Eberswalde – Pasewalk – Greifswald – Ostseebad Binz lines will be rerouted and the stops in Bernau, Eberswalde, Angermünde, Prenzlau, Pasewalk, Anklam, Züssow and Greifswald will be temporarily eliminated. A new replacement stop was set up in Neustrelitz so as not to completely abandon travelers. According to current railway forecasts, the restrictions on train traffic could last until Tuesday.
Train service details
Regional trains are particularly affected: the RB24 regional train no longer runs between Berlin-Lichtenberg and Bernau, while the RE3 also has to interrupt the route between Berlin Central Station and Bernau. Travelers are therefore well advised to check their connections before traveling.
Deutsche Bahn has already initiated comprehensive measures to expedite repairs. Even if this is an unpleasant incident, the railway shows a certain commitment to returning to the usual timetable as quickly as possible.
