We all still remember the train accident that caused one dead and two seriously injured, February 17, 2017 in Dudelange station, on the other side of the French border. And a new drama was narrowly avoided last Tuesday, October 16th. Around 9 pm, at the same place, an SNCF agent who was waiting to leave for Woippy with his freight train, saw two cars loaded with goods roll towards him. These cars were waiting for sorting. The collision is inevitable: the agent takes refuge in the back of his cabin. He was slightly injured but benefits from fifteen days of total interruption of work (ITT).
Ironically, it was this same agent who had already been injured in 2017, during the first train accident, a few hundred meters away.
Human error
At the origin of the accident last Tuesday, a probable referral error. So human. In any case, the Luxembourg Railways (CFL) exclude the track of the technical breakdown. A theory defended also by the French railwaymen.
On the other hand, the unions of the SNCF denounce CFL amateurism. It is South Rail which revealed, this Monday, the accident in a press release.
"This accident _can not arrive on the French network_because there are security systemstestifies a member of the Sud Rail union who wishes to remain anonymous. If there is a routing error, the car can not come face to face with a locomotive. While on the Luxembourg network, it is not planned like that. We are waiting for an accident to take action. "
Silence of the authorities
Dimitri Schumacher, of the CGT cheminots, goes even further: he denounces the silence of the SNCF after this accident, even if it recognizes its gravity: "Not only are we scared, but in addition, the fact that the information does not arrive, we learn the accident by a union or the media, it worsens the fact ofgo to work without being serene, every time you cross the border. "
Nobody is objective when we talk about the border. Dimitri Schumacher, CGT railway
A Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committee (CHSCT) is planned at SNCF Fret on October 30th. Among the points raised, the support for the injured French railway worker He had to call one of his executives, who had gone to pick him up at the Bettembourg station to take him to Bel Air hospital in Thionville.
