German police: suspicious rail track object did not contain explosives

In a town in Germany, someone saw something strange sitting on the train tracks.

The police were called because the object looked like it could be dangerous.

The town is called Treuchtlingen, and it is in the south of Germany.

To keep people safe, the police blocked off the area and asked everyone to stay away.

They also asked people in nearby buildings to leave for a little while.

The police took X-ray pictures of the object, which let experts look inside it without touching it.

A special robot was used to move the object somewhere safe.

After looking very carefully, the police found that the object did not contain any explosives.

That means it was not a bomb after all.

The police shared this news on Thursday, August 13.
