Two freight trains came together near Gifhorn at 03:43. It appears a
train of bogie vans was standing at a signal when a train of tank wagons
loaded with propane ran into the rear of it.

The driver of the second train sustained life-threatening injuries,
whilst the driver of the first train had only minor injuries.

Interesting that they seem to have specialist kit for burning off the
propane from the wrecked tank wagons.

Also interesting that the 'Firemen' have a similar job as in 'Fahrenheit
452', burning stuff safely ;-)

At a virtual signal, AFAIU.
