Traction line damaged after thieves raided the locomotive, the damage is 700 thousand
According to the police, the theft was the main cause of Saturday’s problems on the backbone railway corridor from Prague to Bohumín in the section between Přerov and Lipník nad Bečvou. The thieves damaged the catenary, which caused the wires to sag and subsequently damaged a passing locomotive. “On Saturday morning, an as yet unknown perpetrator stole two nine millimetre diameter overhead wire anchors, each fifty metres long, from the catenary supports on the railway line near Prosenice station,” said police spokesperson Petra Vaňharová.
