A regional train that was stranded during the flood in the Ahr valley last year was transported away with three heavy trucks on Wednesday night. You will be taken to Meckenheim in North Rhine-Westphalia and put back on the tracks there, said a railway spokeswoman. Then the train should be towed to the workshop in Cologne. According to the district administration, the traffic signs were dismantled in a tunnel for the heavy truck transport from Altenahr-Ahrbrück. These should be reinstalled on Wednesday. For this purpose, the tunnel will be closed.

The regional train was initially trapped in the district of Kreuzberg and then towed to Ahrbrück. Because of the defective tracks, the train had to be transported with heavy trucks.
