BERLIN, June 1 (Xinhua) -- To avoid the recurrence of a fatal railway accident that happened last June, the Deutsche Bahn (DB) is set to replace 480,000 railroad sleepers in 2023, five times the usual amount, the company said Thursday.
With this, the DB is also addressing the findings of a report released the same day by the Federal Authority for Railway Accident Investigation, which said damaged concrete sleepers had been the main cause of the rail accident in Bavaria that killed five people and left 78 injured.
