German rail company Deutsche Bahn is halting trains across the country due to an IT disruption, a spokesperson for the company told German news agencies.
Trains are being held at stations and travelers are staying in their seats amid the tech meltdown.
The spokesperson said the GSMR digital rail radio system is experiencing a malfunction, and technicians are working to resolve the issue.
Deutsche Bahn CEO Evelyn Palla spoke to the German Bild newspaper and said "we are now trying to get the trains into stations so that travelers can disembark. And then we have to fix the problem, which we don't yet know."
All trains are suspended in Germany's most populous state North Rhine-Westphalia.
