None Injured in Germany Train Incident from Newday.com

DORTMUND, Germany -- A high-speed train carrying 200 passengers struck six metal slabs attached to tracks in an apparent attempt to derail it, authorities said Sunday. The train was able to slow down in time and stayed on the rails.

None of the InterCityExpress train's passengers were injured in the collision with the metal pieces early Saturday. The 38-pound metal slabs had been screwed onto tracks between the towns of Kamen and Nordboegge on a line linking Cologne and Berlin.

Planes, trains and automobiles. Boats, where are the boats?
