Here's a link to a Reuter's story, with picture, of an Re 4/4 II having collided with a Thurbo train set in Neuhausen am Rheinfall station. This blocks the main line north from Züri to Schaffhausen, which is also the route for trains from Züri to Baden-Württemberg (Stuttgart): Reuter's Story Link |

Bad news!
Luckily no people were killed,it seems.
Strange that the loco pulling the double deck coaches derailed,it must be much heavier than the Flirt lightrail train.
Looking at the state of the cabin of the loco speed was pretty low.
The Flirt is not made to absorb impacts like these,hence the extensive damage to the latter.
I do not know about Swiss security systems,in Holland trains are not protected with speeds under 40 kmh.
