Zug caused several fires near Karlstadt

A freight train with overheated brakes caused several fires on Monday afternoon on the embankment on the route between Wernfeld and Himmelstadt (Main-Spessart district). Benedict Rottman, the press spokesman for the district fire inspection Main-Spessart, said this when asked by this editorial team. The cause was therefore a technical defect, due to which the brakes would not have opened in some cases. The railway line between Aschaffenburg and Würzburg, which is currently also used by ICE trains, had to be closed for around two and a half hours.
