Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalfsen train crash
firstly, I do not claim it to be a "disaster". The Zwolle-Emmen line at {{convert|75|km|mi}}, cannot be called a "minor railway" either. There is more to this than meets the eye at first glance. The crane had waited for one train to pass before crossing, and then started to cross the line before it was struck by a second train. Apparently the crane was only crossing at a very slow speed (less than walking pace?). This was a single-track stretch of line, although double between Zwolle and Dalfsen, presumably the two trains crossed there. The accident has been widely reported in the UK, Netherlands, https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/emergency-services-1-person-dead-after-train-collides-with-crane-derails-near-dutch-town-of-dalfsen/2016/02/23/32a7704e-da0f-11e5-8210-f0bd8de915f6_story.html USA, http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-one-dead-10-injured-in-dutch-train-derailment-2181214 India etc.  is met in spades. Note that the nominator has also https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Te_beoordelen_pagina's/Toegevoegd_20160223 !voted for deletion of the :nl:Treinongeval bij Dalfsen|equivalent article on nl-Wiki
