It takes more than one man to place a 300 kilo bar on the tracks.
"… has used drones … limited results"
The war on employing people might be driving some of these problems. We should invest in trains, deter private motoring, AND GIVE PEOPLE JOBS DOING NOT MUCH MORE THAN ENSURING EVERYTHING IS GOING NICELY. Stop spending money on rich-people-serving enshittification!
In May 1980 a train was derailed in the UK (at Prestonpans east of Edinburgh) by a length of rail that someone had placed across the track. British Rail made a decision that loose pieces of rail (short enough to be moved without machinery) that had been removed from the track or were going to be installed in the future would no longer be left lying close to the track. I observe that there has recently been some deviation from this policy, but so far there have been no further derailments in the UK caused in the same way.
Wellcom all border open countrys libs
Clearly sabotage! If somebody steals the brakes of your car, it is clearly sabotage. If political or religious motives are involved, it is terrorism too.
Who would be doing it? Russians?
Why not add a modern cow catcher to the front car to push obstructions from the tracks?
I doubt very much this was theft, more like small group terrorism.
Quick blame the Russians
Might have to have a small car in front of the engine (or an extention of the front end that is reinforced ) that serves as a diverter to anything on the rails.
You need to declare such attempts/theft/sabotage/whatever-the-term-is as "murder" attempt and punishment should be as such, and I believe the crime rate will fall.
Make it a national security issue , stealing of copper and metals directly related trains
Was it Russia?
Inspector Clouseau is on the case.
Thieves don't care about consequences to others…
Well suspect all you like….
Legit question: when a criminal act injures several dozen people, here 44. How is it not a mass casualty event, so a terrorist act?
I'm not laughing at this… And I'm not here to mock you.
Somebody will blame Putin!
Of course it was sabotage! The world isnt the same anymore!
Sad for decent people.
What separates us from anarchy is that the vast majority of people do not engage in such behaviour. Creating a society where people choose not to commit crimes is much cheaper and more effective than trying to police everything. Securing thousands of kms of railway track is simply not possible…
For sure, ISLAMIC TERRORISM..! They do these kind of things in India as well!
It might have been sabotage, but the stealing of parts to sell is theft and vandalism.
U need more cctv and hire more people monitoring it
Migrants do that for fun. They get bored, it happens.
i'm sure it wasnt the muslims gutting your country for a dollar 🤔
Best wish from USA
Eu open borders policy working well
One way is don't leave large sections of track along the tracks.
Sooo
They should use a scout drone wirelessly attached to the train that flies the train's path 2 or 3 miles ahead of each train. Using detection technology directly viewed in the cab, obstacles in the path can be observed and the driver has enough time to stop the train.

If they used cellular mast locating, they could discover which phones had been in the area within that hour.
Happened a lot during the German occupation in WWII. Resistance fighters derailed many trains. They had found an easy way to do it without moving a 300 kilo piece of steel. It was very difficult to see what they had done even after the train derailed. There are several YouTube videos describing these methods in detail.
Russia? Mmmmm, could be.
It's Russia ? Hahah no one?
