National railway company CFL has confirmed that an unused railway tunnel between Kautenbach and Wilwerwiltz has collapsed.

Images of the collapsed tunnel recently started making rounds on social media. CFL has now confirmed that the images depict the railway tunnel between Kautenbach and Wilwerwiltz, although spokespeople were unwilling to convey the cause of the collapse.

A clarifying statement is however expected at some later point today.

The railway tunnel in question is currently not being used due to construction work, which means that the collapse did not endanger any trains.
