Traffic stopped – woman walked on train tracks, she was looking for a grave

Date:

Unbelievable incident in Linz: Because there was a woman on the train tracks near the shunting station, the train traffic had to be stopped. But the woman’s explanation for her dangerous undertaking was no less unusual.

A passer-by couldn’t believe his eyes around noon on Friday: a woman was standing on the track of the marshalling yard at Turmstrasse – he immediately called the police. Because this meant that no contact could be made with the caller, the woman had to be searched for throughout the shunting yard.

wife found
The emergency coordinator of ÖBB has shut down train traffic in the entire area of ​​the marshalling yard and on part of the Westbahn section and released it to officials. An operations manager from ÖBB also went to the site. At about 12:40 p.m., railway workers from ÖBB found the woman they were looking for, a 48-year-old woman from Linz. They took the woman to the shed, where she was interrogated by the police officers.

Looking for his brother’s grave
Officials were stunned by the reasoning behind her actions: She stated she was looking for her brother’s grave, which is said to have once been here. However, she was aware that entering the track was prohibited due to danger and therefore also walked next to the track. The tracks were reopened to train traffic at 12:45 p.m.
