It was the worst train accident in the history of Luxembourg railways. On 11th  October 2006 a head-on on collision between two trains at Zoufftgen near Dudelange occurred.  Six people were killed, sixteen others were injured. More than three years after the incident, trials relating to the crash are still open.

This Wednesday a memorial took place at the site of the accident. Participating at the ceremony  was  minister of Luxembourg ministers Claude Wiseler  and Jeannot Waringo, as well as president of the CFL Board of Directors, and CFL's Director General Lex Kremer.

The newly inaugurated memorial is a column and a marble stone  - an idea of the  heads of the French railway SNCF.
