Railcar derailed
Franz-Josefs-Bahn: Freight train collides with excavator
A freight train collided with an excavator between the stations of Kritzendorf and St. Andrä-Wördern in Lower Austria on Monday morning. There are delays on the line.
According to police reports, the railcar and the first two carriages of the train set derailed. The excavator is believed to have been delivered to a construction site in Greifenstein at around 9.30 am. During unloading, a shovel is said to have fallen off a truck and over an embankment towards the track. The excavator driver is said to have tried to remove the shovel with the construction machine. The freight train that arrived at the same time collided with the excavator arm.
ÖBB confirmed that there were no injuries. Firefighters from the St. Andrä/Wördern and Altenberg fire departments had to bind the leaking hydraulic oil.
Delay for travelers
A rail replacement service was set up on the Franz-Josefs-Bahn. No journeys are expected to be possible until 4 p.m., ÖBB announced on its website. The rail replacement service has been set up for suburban trains and regional services. Passengers should allow an extra 20 minutes in the affected area.
