It occurred near Rafz, which is very close to the German border. In fact, Rafz is a small piece of Canton Zurich that is North of the Rhein. The land was owned by a Baden-Wurttemberg Prince who was in debt to bankers in Zurich. I have been camping in Rafz, and you can walk across the border in many completely uncontrolled locations there. Here is the link.--MM 20-Minuten Article

I guess it wrecked a lot more than a rail. Reports state that up to 50 people were hurt. The Re 460 was pulling an Intercity train between Zurich and Stuttgart (via Singen). Regards Mike C
