As substantial damage was done to the tracks and switching systems there will surely be opportunities for locals to snap operations photos of track repair and other work.
Special cranes coming in to assist with the train.

Re-railing taking place.
I attached some of the images to preserve them in case the news sources links went dead - for folks looking for photos of the crane and usage.

That is apparently a new crane just recently christened by the DB:

Leipzig
. Mit diesem Giganten sollen Strecken nach Unwettern oder Unfällen schnell wieder beräumt sein: Am Mittwoch taufte die Deutsche Bahn einen neuen Notfallkran am Standort Leipzig-Engelsdorf auf den Namen „Leipzig“. 160 Tonnen Tragkraft hat das schwere Gerät, mit dem unter anderem entgleiste Wagen wieder in die Spur gesetzt werden können. Passender Beiname: Mammut.

Er ist schwer, kann 160 Tonnen an den Haken nehmen und heißt „Leipzig“, Beiname Mammut. Die Deutsche Bahn hat einen neuen Notfallkran getauft.
Zur Bildergalerie

Jeder der neuen Kranzüge bestehe aus insgesamt fünf Fahrzeugen, so die Bahn weiter. Neben dem eigentlichen Notfallkran rücken bei einer Havarie der Kranschutzwagen, ein Gegenlastwagen sowie für die arbeitenden Teams ein Schlaf- und Sanitärwagen sowie ein kombinierter Aufenthalts-, Werkstatt- und Energiewagen an.


The giant is to clear tracks after weather issues and accidents. Lift capacity of 160 metric tonnes.
The complete crane train consists of 5 components: the actual crane, a crane protection car, a counter weight car, a worker sleep and facilities car, and a combined common room/workshop/energy car.

Of course it could be the one stationed in Fulda ( http://bos-fahrzeuge.inf...an_KRC_1200/photo/307913 ) instead although I think that one is called "Zeus".

More info on the BR732

Here's an advertising video on the crane used today. I found it very informative.
