Kamen (dpa / lnw) – After an accident at a level crossing near Kamen, several regional trains on the busy route between Dortmund and Hamm experienced delays and partial cancellations. On the other hand, long-distance traffic was only slightly disturbed on Thursday after the incident in Kamen, as it was being diverted via the freight train route, said a spokeswoman for Deutsche Bahn. After an incident at a crossing between Kamen and Kamen-Methler and a subsequent police operation at the scene of the accident, regional trains 1 and 3 and RE 6 are affected.
According to “zuginfo.nrw”, regional trains will be diverted between Dortmund main station and Hamm main station without stopping. A bus operator has been set up. According to DB, it is uncertain how long the disruptions will last. That depends on the length of time the police and fire brigade are deployed to salvage a vehicle.
According to the police, a car collided with a train at the level crossing. The “Westfälische Anzeiger” reported that around 130 people were on the regional train.
