Hi all,
Information taken from BeneluxRailGen.
It appears that a rail-mounted crane has been hit by two trains last
night, causing a derailment and unfortunately one fatality.
Freight 47612 Hermalle/Kinkempois - Beverwijk came into contact with a
small rail-mounted crane and apparently knocked it into the path of
train 1409 Utrecht - Rotterdam, formed of unit 9405.
There were some engineering works taking place during that time and it
is speculated that the crane was on the wrong track.
