Railway Shutdown?

 Something started to occur around 8 PM last night in Germany....where the radio system that trains use to communicate.....started to fail.

By 10:00 PM roughly....the whole national network was shutdown.  

So....into the tens of thousands....folks were more or less dumped in the middle-part of their journey.  The Bahn told them....go find a hotel for the night (you can get up to 120 Euro of vouchers later).

What happened?  Unknown. 

They did a reset, around 2-to-3 AM, and seem to be catching up this AM.

My general advice...if using the Bahn....always have a plan 'B' in your mind....particularly if going a long distance.
