Bahnchaos: Children play on the track and stop 32 trains in Grabow!

A dangerous game between tracks caused massive rail delays on the Hamburg-Berlin route on Saturday evening. The local authorities report an incident in which two girls aged 12 and 14 played on the tracks near Grabow, in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district. Fortunately, the train driver of a freight train became aware of the dangers and stopped his train in time, which could prevent worse. The girls were found intact by the state police and handed over to the federal police. This incident led to a blocking of the railway line, which lasted about 50 minutes and sent a total of 1178 minutes on the trip, such as [pz-news.de] (https://www.pz-news.de/home_artikel ,-bahnverpaetungen-pielender-am-gleis-_arid.2230257.html) Tagesspiegel report.

The federal police took this incident as an opportunity to urge the extreme dangers of game behavior and on rail lines. Trains run at high speed, are extremely quiet and therefore often only perceive late. The passing trains can also create a dangerous suction effect that can lead to serious accidents. A message that is often underestimated in young people.

accident prevention for children

In order to better communicate the dangers of tracks and train systems, Deutsche Bahn has developed various materials for accident prevention in cooperation with the Federal Police. These are particularly aimed at children of preschool and primary school age and playfully convey the right behavior on platforms, tracks and transitions. The prevention package "Safe on the go with Oli" includes teaching materials, videos and stickers and is optimized for lessons. An animated film entitled "Olis Chance", which illuminates the right behavior on train systems, was even awarded the best children's film at the International Drecstym Festival 2006, such as Deutschebahn.com.

A recent prevention spot points out the dangers of dangerous behavior on tracks in particular. Young people often tend to underestimate risks, be it with graffiti sprays, shorten the tracks or when climbing on freight trains. Deutsche Bahn therefore relies on a strong information campaign that takes place both online and on social media to clarify the dangers. With several videos that show the risks, attempts are made to consciously counteract dangerous trends such as photography in the track bed.
