Ironically, for the tattoo at the Wiesn, Deutsche Bahn had to temporarily block the main S-Bahn route on Monday evening. The trains could no longer go to the Hackerbrücke station, which is heavily frequented by Oktoberfest visitors, which is why the federal police had to divert the flow of passengers to the main station. The reason: At Ostbahnhof, an overhead line broke around 11 p.m. after an aluminum balloon got caught there and caused a short circuit. The suspension cable fell on an S6 going to Grafing. The train with around 400 passengers came to a standstill shortly before Ostbahnhof with fire and scorching damage and had to be towed by another S-Bahn to the platform where the passengers could disembark. Nobody was injured. The repairs lasted until Tuesday morning.
