Sunday Bridges and train accident

A serious train accident took place last night close to this rail bridge in Amsterdam. Two trains collided in front at each other which left 125 passengers wounded, at least 46 of them are serious injured. It is not yet clear how the two trains managed to ride at the same glides, something must have gone terrible wrong. It was a upsetting evening, see for more information here.

  2. Strange looking bridge.

    There was a commuter train derailment here a few weeks ago. Three people in the locomotive were killed. Investigation found train speed was too high for the cross over as the train switched tracks.

  5. Believe it or not, I read about the train collision here in Oklahoma! When I visited Amsterdam I loved riding the train. We stayed in Leiden and rode to Amsterdam during the day. We are praying for the injured.

    hope you are well, Bieb!
