Rüsselsheim train disaster
The Rüsselsheim train disaster occurred on February 2, 1990, on the Main Railway near the Rüsselsheim station in Germany. With 17 persons killed and 145 severely injured the train collision is amongst the most serious in rapid transit.
== Account of the accident ==
On February 2, 1990, at 16:42 the regular train of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn entered the Rüsselsheim station. The mass rapid transit DB Class 420 train was on its way from Mainz to Frankfurt on the S14 line. The station is secured with distant signals before the station platforms and stop signals after the station platforms technically enforced by Indusi inductors. The train driver acknowledged the warning of the distant signal (1000 Hz Indusi) but after dispatching the train in daily routine he had forgotten about it.
A second DB Class 420 train was oncoming from Frankfurt however in contrast to daily routine another train was already on the regular platform so the train was diverted to another platform at the other side of the station requiring the train to cross the track of the first train some way before the station. Both trains were fully packed during rush hour with an estimate of 500 passengers per train.
Although the main signal was on stop a few hundred meters after the station the driver accelerated quickly on leaving the station. The regular speed of S-Bahn trains is about 80 km/h and the powerful trains can attain that easily. Although both trains had activated the emergency brake—also enforced by an automated train stop (2000 Hz Indusi) on the main signal—the collision occurred at a speed estimated to be about 40 to 70 km/h for both trains. The collision was so intense that one of the control cars was lifted upright into the air then falling to the side on a nearby car park.
