German border shut down - Tractor stalls international railway operations.
Around 12:30 pm, a green tractor unexpectedly appeared on the Dresden-Prague railroad tracks in Prostřední Žleb, Bohemian Switzerland. The tractor was stationary in a garden when it seemed like the brakes malfunctioned, causing the ancient vehicle to obstruct the German-Czech border.
Tractor halts train to Prague
This is the path of the international Eurocity train service that connects Hamburg and Berlin with Prague and Budapest.
On the German side, the train only reached as far as Bad Schandau in Saxon Switzerland. As reported by the news portal Nowinky, it took the Czech fire department and police around an hour to move the old tractor off the tracks. This led to travel delays.

Meanwhile, the police in Hähnichen (Görlitz district) were facing a different issue: mule owners were swearing at Pedro, Pedro, Pedro.

Police spokeswoman Anja Leuschner (35): "We couldn't catch him with a rope or halter." The federal police had to secure the railroad line to keep the mule from colliding with a train.
Leuschner explains, "Since there wasn't any vet on hand with an anesthetic lance, the uniformed officers enclosed the mule with a lunge line and coupling wire."
The owners ultimately had to guide their mule four kilometers back home, as Pedro had decided to take a road trip away from his home...
