Deer herd brings trains to a standstill for hours by Almere; Trains nearly collide in Heerlen
A herd of deer disrupted train traffic between the Almere Oostvaarders station and Lelystad Centrum for several hours on Saturday afternoon. The group of fifteen animals from the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve broke through a fence and roamed onto the railroad track. Because it involved such a large group, Dutch national railway NS halted train traffic there. In a separate incident, two Arriva passenger trains nearly collided at the Heerlen train station in Limburg, coming to a halt just 20 meters apart from each other. In that incident, a train driver likely ran a red light.
