ProRail is warning of the dangers of objects on the railway after stones were reportedly placed on the rails near Deurne. The precise location and consequences have not yet been confirmed by the police or ProRail.
The warning emerged on Sunday via Deurne Media Groep. According to Deurne Media Groep, a ProRail employee said that children had placed stones on the rails and that the railway is not a playground. The RTL Nieuws headline refers to the same incident.
Objects on rails can cause damage to trains and railway infrastructure. It is not yet clear whether the incident caused damage or had other consequences.
The public source does not provide complete information about the time, the exact location, the size of the stones or whether a train was actually disrupted. Such details are needed to assess the seriousness of the incident properly.
In earlier disruption information, ProRail describes how deliberately placed objects on the railway can cause damage.
Because a second, independent confirmation is lacking, we are keeping the report brief. Once ProRail or the police provides more information about the incident, the editorial team can add the consequences and any measures taken.
