When the Deutsche Bundesbahn was still run by experienced railroaders, every depot had an emergency train ready to provide rapid assistance in the event of a derailment. Of course, locomotives and personnel were also kept on hand for this purpose. So they were quickly on the spot.

Meet the Rottweil emergency train on standby and on the way is shown in ten pictures that I took about 50 years ago.
