Lifting and removal on the muddy terrain was a challenge. Numerous roadway slabs had to be laid in order to reach the accident site with the heavy vehicles.

With three crane vehicles, the train was raised again and then made ready for removal via low-loader. The heavy transport went to our heavy goods depot in Härkingen to find out the repair possibilities there.
