Giant Snowball Stops Train in Its Tracks <br />Wed January 28, 2004 10:40 AM ET <br /> <br />AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A giant snowball stopped Dutch trains in their tracks <br />Wednesday on a key route, and young pranksters thrilled by a rare snowfall <br />were the prime suspects. <br />"The engine driver felt a smack and stopped the train. He walked back and <br />reported a large snowball had rolled down the slope onto the rails," a <br />spokesman for rail network operator ProRail said. <br /> <br />"We suspect it was pushed down the slope by some youths." <br /> <br />Traffic on the Apeldoorn-Amersfoort route that also leads to Berlin was <br />temporarily suspended. Weather experts say the first heavy snowfall for <br />years could cause major traffic disruption. <br />
