Badgers burrowing under rail tracks have halted trains in the northern and southern Netherlands, forcing lengthy cancellations on at least two lines.
FILE - Two badger cubs are seen in the Szeged Game Park in Szeged, south of Budapest, Hungary, on April 12, 2006. All trains were halted Tuesday afternoon on a busy line between the southern cities of Den Bosch and Boxtel after the animals dug into a dike carrying rails.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The digging means “the rails can subside and then the safety of train traffic can no longer be guaranteed,” ProRail, the company that maintains the Dutch rail network said in a statement. Badgers are protected animals in the Netherlands, so rail operators have to get permission to move them or disturb their habitat before repairs can begin.John Voppen, CEO of ProRail, the company that maintains Dutch railroads, appealed for a speeding up of the procedures.
