Tri-mode tunnel rescue train designed for the ‘worst-case scenario’
AUSTRIA: Stadler and Austrian Federal Railways have unveiled the first Servicejet multifunctional firefighting and rescue train, which the manufacturer says is tailor-made ‘for the worst-case scenario’ of a fire in a tunnel.
They are designed to get through a smoke-filled tunnel to the source of a fire, rescue people, tow away damaged vehicles, fight fires and get back to safety.
The 66·5 m long three-car train can carry more than 300 seated and standing people in an emergency. . . .
