German rail says halting all long-distance trains due to storm

Trains already on the way will be halted once they reach the closest stations.

Germany's rail operator Deutsche Bahn said Thursday it was suspending all long-distance traffic for a day as a deadly storm lashed part of the country with hurricane-force winds.

Deutsche Bahn is "stopping all long-distance traffic," said a spokesman, adding that trains already on the way will be halted once they reach the closest stations.
