The 2017 Dudelange train collision occurred on the morning of 14 February 2017, near the town of Dudelange in Luxembourg, on the CFL Line 60 between Bettembourg and the French border. Two trains, a regional passenger train operated by the Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) and a freight train operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium, collided head-on after the driver of the Luxembourgish train failed to slow in time for a signal displaying a stop aspect. The driver of the passenger train died and two others were injured.[1][2]
