Train from Hell to Gorleben again

castor_fs_06

Folks, for the time being this could be the last time you have the opportunity to participate in one of the most impressive acts of eco-resistance in Europe. The Train from Hell is gearing up to start its infernal voyage again. Local activists welcome solidarity from abroad very much.

Rumors go that the train will already start at Wednesday from La Hague in France. This way they hope to outsmart activists, who will be in full force in the Wendland area in the weekend. If the train doesn’t get stopped too much on the way there, it could already arrive at Dannenberg endstation on Friday. There the evil load is transferred to trucks, to make the last 19 kilometers to the storage in Gorleben.

This time there are preparations for the usual methods, including the ‘schottern’ that was introduced last year (= break through police lines at as many places as possible and start removing the stones carrying the rail tracks). See film from last year here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oucLJ-yBDU

There will also be many camps for activists to gather. One of them, near Dahlenburg, has been declared illegal (but this is being fought in court, and anyway nobody cares). The whole village of Metzingen has declared to be open as camp for activists and in fact most farms and houses in the area are involved and sympathize with the resistance. See camps here
