Overview

• On Sunday at 20:15, five goats escaped through a hole in a Harrislee solar park fence and wandered onto the Padborg–Flensburg tracks, triggering an immediate service suspension.
• The railway emergency control center alerted the Bundespolizei, resulting in a cumulative 165-minute delay across affected train services.
• Officers herded the animals back to their pasture and used plastic cable ties to make a provisional repair to the damaged fence.
• Train operations have since resumed without any collisions or injuries reported.
• Investigators continue efforts to identify the goats’ owner to mandate proper permanent fence restoration and prevent future disruptions.
