BERLIN, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- Train drivers in Germany went on strike for three days starting from Wednesday, severely restricting passenger transport across the country. Meanwhile, freight trains have been at a standstill since Tuesday night.
During the strike, the German national railway company Deutsche Bahn is operating an emergency service, but only one in five long-distance trains will be able to run. Regional transportation is "also massively thinned out," said a spokesperson for the national rail operator.
