At least 12 people have been killed in a crash between a passenger train coming from Luxembourg and a freight train. The line had been reduced to a single track with bi-directional running because of repairs to the other track. The trains met head-on and both drivers were killed.

It suggests to me a signalling problem, or "human error".
