Shock in the Viennese Wurstelprater: A screw caused the locomotive to overturn, but fortunately no one was injured. Is there a cowardly act of sabotage behind this?
A dangerous incident took place at around 11.15am on Sunday in the Wurstelprater near the popular Liliput railway. The legendary train has derailed.
Passengers got out themselves
The accident happened near the “Schweizerhaus-Luftburg” station. Fortunately, no one was injured; all passengers and the driver were able to disembark safely. About an hour later, the crashed Liliputbahn was lifted back onto the right track with the help of a crane. Driving resumed at 2:45 p.m. The shock is still deep because a cowardly act of sabotage is suspected behind the accident.
The police have already started investigating
The Liliputbahn told the “Krone” that a massive, screw-like piece of metal was found at the scene of the accident, which probably caused the locomotive to derail. A report has been filed against unknown persons – the police are investigating.
The Lilliputbahn locomotives reach a speed of approximately 30 kilometers per hour. The entire route is almost four kilometers long and takes about 20 minutes. The popular railway line was first put into use in 1928. He started his 96th season in mid-March.
