Hello everyone! In this new video, you will discover an overview of the freight train diversions that took place from August 9 to 30 between Offenburg and Wörth. Indeed, following work at Rastatt station in Germany, no trains ran on this major European freight corridor. A certain part of the freight traffic was diverted through France via Strasbourg and Lauterbourg. On the organizational side, trains from Northern Europe arrived at Wörth station (near Karlsruhe) or Offenburg from the South. A BB 75100 locomotive equipped with German (PZB) and French (KVB) safety systems was added to the train (the German locomotive remaining on the train, transported by vehicle). Two drivers took their places on board the BB 75100 engine for the entire journey. The first driver, a German, made the journey to the French border where he then gave way to his French driver colleague to drive on the National Rail Network. Arriving at the second border point, another change of driver to complete the diversion to the Wörth or Offenburg marshalling yard. The two drivers and the BB 75100 locomotive then made the return journey with another train, at a rate of around twenty rotations per day. Despite anticipation of several years, certain constraints made these diversions complicated to carry out, with very many delays. However, the cooperation between many railway companies such as Fret SNCF, Captrain France and SBB Cargo International made it possible to ensure the continuity of this essential traffic during these three weeks with the key, some very nice railway encounters!
