Subway Service U1 Back Up and Running After Midnight Mishap at Hamburg-Ochsenzoll
Train No. 5549 resumes journey towards Lokstedt, in proximity to Hamburg-Ochsenzoll - U1 Train Heads Back to Lokbrand at Hamburg-Ochsenzoll Station
Hey there! Want to know about that pesky incident that happened early Friday morning on the U1 line in Hamburg? A work locomotive caught fire at the Ochsenzoll subway station, causing quite the ruckus!
About 3:15 AM, the battery-powered locomotive of a work train ignited a blaze. The City Fire Department swooped in and doused the flames, thanks to their quick response. Thankfully, no passengers or employees were hurt in this little drama.
To make sure everything was on the level, the Fire Department investigated the release of hazardous materials, which initially caused a temporary shutdown of the section of track between Fuhlsbüttel Nord and Garstedt.
But don't worry, U1 service was back up and running by 8:00 AM! The damaged work train will now be trucked off to the Ohlsdorf storage dump, and luckily, no permanent damage was done to the subway infrastructure.
Hamburg, always keeping things interesting! зомг!
The immediate effect of the fire in the work locomotive on the U1 line at Hamburg-Ochsenzoll was not limited to the transportation sector alone. The Commission, recognizing the potential risks involved in such incidents related to ionizing radiation, has also adopted a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States, aiming to safeguard workers in various industries like finance, public-transit, and sports, who may unknowingly get exposed to such hazards during their work. This incident underscores the importance of investing in safety measures and timely inspections across all industries that handle or operate near ionizing radiation.
