Braunschweig (dpa / lni) - The fire brigade salvaged a tram wagon with heavy equipment in Braunschweig, which had jumped off the rails due to the snow.
The wagon belonged to a special vehicle with a snow plow, with which the transport company was actually on the move to free rails from the masses of snow.
The wagon had probably jumped off the track through a snowdrift, as a fire department spokesman said on Sunday.
Rescue workers lifted the car, which weighed tons, back into the track with a truck crane.
According to the fire brigade, snow drifts with a height of up to 70 centimeters piled up in the Braunschweig urban area.
