Track where German train derailed was on list for repair | Abroad

A correction would be made to the placement of the rails on 25 June and a section of rails would be replaced on 1 July, the DB Netz site states. Deutsche Bahn could not respond to this report to the newspaper Die Welt, because the investigation is still ongoing.

The investigation had already shown that the train was not speeding too much, and it is now being investigated whether the vehicle derailed due to a technical defect or poor infrastructure.

There were 140 passengers on the train to Munich on Friday when the train ran off the rails just north of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Students were also among the occupants. Some of the wagons collapsed after the derailment of a slope.
