Today morning an ICE caught fire on the high speed line between Cologne and Frankfurt. The media images paint a rather dramatic picture. Luckily nobody was injured as all 510 passengers on board could be evacuated in time.

The line and the motorway next to it (A3) are closed. Trains are either cancelled or diverted via the Rhine Valley resulting in severe delays. I guess this will continue for a few days until everything has been cleared up and repaired.
