Latest news: A suspected sabotage incident near Leverkusen, Germany, caused signalling cable fires, forcing a closure of the Cologne-Düsseldorf railway operated by Deutsche Bahn. Authorities are investigating a potential left-wing extremist motive amidst discussions on critical infrastructure protection. Concurrently, Stadler's EURO6000 electric locomotive received authorization for operation in Belgium, following Luxembourg approval, facilitating uninterrupted freight services along the North Sea–Mediterranean Corridor connecting Barcelona and Antwerp, enhancing cross-border rail freight efficiency across Spain and France.
