A railway accident occurred on Monday, 11 December, near the Croatian port of Rijeka. A freight train carrying corn collided with a track maintenance vehicle of the Croatian Infrastructure Manager HŽ Infrastruktura. As a result, both vehicles suffered substantial damages, wagons derailed, and rail tracks were destroyed. Fortunately, no one was seriously harmed. However, the state of infrastructure could cause extended traffic issues for the port of Rijeka and the Mediterranean Corridor.

Risks, now suboptimally are added, at current “optimal maintenance”, the maintaining (“cementing”) strategy.
For proving an “equal” partner, at current “On Demand” supply chains, for now proving optimal, all known risks at the old railway have to be outed.
A shift, an upgraded , to STAX32, etc., a New Old Railway is needed.
(Regrettably current standard, at TEN-T…, etc., is devastating.)
