tl;dr: Suspected sabotage disrupted Dutch rail service on Tuesday, with ProRail reporting over 35 incidents where pipes and cables placed on tracks tricked signaling systems into detecting phantom trains, halting traffic control. No suspects or motives have been identified, though police, prosecutors, and the AIVD intelligence agency are investigating; the Farmers Defence Force denied responsibility but didn't rule out individual members' involvement. Routes to Schiphol, Eindhoven, and Utrecht were affected, with no accidents reported. | |
