A TRAIN DRIVER in the Netherlands escaped injury after his front car collided with the end of an elevated section of rails and was caught by a sculpture of a whale’s tail.
The train was perched on one of the two rear fins known as “fins” several meters above the ground in Rotterdam.
It created such a stir locally that authorities urged tourists to stay away, adding that coronavirus restrictions were in effect.
About 50 people were at the scene as engineers tried to figure out how to stabilize and then remove the train in high winds.

“A team of experts is investigating how we can make it safe and remove it,” said Carly Gorter, a spokeswoman for the local security authority.
“It is complicated,” he added.
The company that operates the metro line said the driver was unharmed and there were no passengers on the train when it crashed into the stop barriers at the end of the station in the town of Spijkenisse this morning.
