Sat's Stormy Sweep - Train Rides Halted by the Weather in Rhineland-Palatinate
Disrupted Train Services: Tree obstructing regional railway tracks - Disrupted Train Services: Closure of Regional Rail Lines Due to Placed Trees on the Tracks
Hey there! Let's chat about the wild weather that got its hooks into Rhineland-Palatinate over the weekend.
The stormy clash left several regional trains reeling, temporarily suspending their journeys on Saturday. Balls-up got the better of the RB62, RB63, RB64, and RB67 trains, as stated by DB Regio AG.
On the RB62 and RB63 lines connecting Worms with Hofheim (Ried), a pesky tree plopped itself smack-dab on the track, pushing the trains away like a stubborn toddler refusing to share. But no worries - the blocking nuisance got the boot eventually. However, brace yourself for the occasional delays or random cancellations - the train service is working double-time to get back on its A-game. The RB64 line, cruising from Kaiserslautern to Pirmasens, also found itself out of service. "Tough luck, folks - this severe weather has us all whipped," declared DB Regio. Service swung back into action in the evening.
The RB67 line, between Glan-Münchweiler and Ramstein, also got the rainy-day blues, with a tree fall taking the blame. The cleanup mess unfolded during the night.
Be Ready: Weather Warning!
The German Weather Service popped the champers and flipped the "severe weather alert" switch for Rhineland-Palatinate. Buckle up, because we're looking at some lightning strikes, errant trees (even those a-top buildings!), and tumbling power lines, along with some rapid-fire flooding, structural damage, or hail.
A Trier cop shared in a chat, "Sure, we've got some trees tumbling," while a Koblenz cop reported, "Geez, we were ready for some thunderous hailstorms, but mother nature had other plans." The mild weather mishaps and fallen trees rounded up the local commotion - "Nuthin' too outrageous," they concluded.
