| #1 Text of article: AMSTERDAM — Eight officers reportedly became ill after helping to evacuate Arnhem station after fears dangerous chemicals had leaked from a goods train. The alarm was raised on Monday after a train passenger began feeling unwell. An initial investigation failed to find any leak in the compartments of the goods train, news agency ANP reported. Further tests were ordered after two drivers in a passenger train to Zutphen also started to feel sick. Their train had stood still for a while next to the goods train. Police officers who evacuated the station became ill as well. Medical personnel at the scene were unable to identify the cause of the problem. The fire brigade is taking measures for toxic fumes around the train but the station has been reopened. Train traffic was reported to be returning to normal by the evening. Hokay, sounds like probably nothing then. |
