Limitations in train operations due to a potential risk of forrest fires

DFS would like to point out that limitations in train operations (e. g. interdiction of operating coal-fired locomotives) can be necessary in case of a high and a very high danger of forrest fires. If so we reserve the right to replace steam locomotives by a suitable diesel fueled traction vehicle.
