Passing a red sign at Amsterdam Central Station
Status :
Closed
On 21 May 2004, in the eastern complex at Amsterdam Central station, an empty double decker train collided with an intercity passenger train (Heerlen – Haarlem). The immediate cause of the collision was that the empty double decker train, which was being transferred from the station to a stabling zone, had passed a red signal, shortly before the collision. As a result of the collision, 19 passengers from the intercity train were so severely injured that they had to be transferred to hospital. The damage to the track and the trains was massive.
