All ICE trains from the Rhineland heading to Leipzig and Berlin are being rerouted via Münster and Osnabrück and customers should expect delays, a Deutsche Bahn spokesman in Düsseldorf said.
The disruptions have been caused by the derailment of nine cars of a freight train near Neubeckum on Tuesday. Though no-one was hurt in the accident, but damaged overhead power lines, signal equipment and tracks shut the railway between Neubeckum and Hamm.
