Greek stationmaster suspended after 2 trains were ordered onto a collision course
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A train stationmaster was suspended Friday and faces disciplinary action after allegedly giving an order that would have placed two passenger trains on a head-on collision course on the same stretch of track on Athens’ suburban railway, Greece’s railway company said.

The company, Hellenic Train, said another stationmaster at a different station and the drivers of both trains quickly realized the mistake and stopped one of the trains about half a kilometer (about one third of a mile) before it entered the single track.

Friday’s incident comes about a year and a half after a similar mistake led to the worst railway disaster in Greek history, in which 57 people – mostly university students heading back to classes after a holiday – were killed when a passenger train smashed into an oncoming freight train which had been mistakenly placed on the same track.
