Two years ago, a French freight train collided with a Luxembourgish passenger train near Bettembourg, killing the passenger train operator. According to the National Federation of Railroad Workers, Transport Workers, Civil Servants and Employees (FNCTTFEL, commonly called the 'Landesverband'), open questions remain.
The trade union is still awaiting answers from the public prosecutor's office and CFL management. The Landesverband seeks "total clarity" and has stressed that as much as possible must be done to avoid further fatal accidents.
In the two years since the crash, the CFL has invested in the security of the national rail network, but the Landesverband has stressed that the CFL must never compromise when it comes to safety.
The legal inquiry is near completion, as a Swiss expert submitted his final report to the investigating judge last week. The inquiry will then lay out the next step in the proceedings, specifically whether a trial will occur or whether the case will be closed.
