As for the regional traffic, Deutsche Bahn rolled out some buses and advised passengers to hop on over an alternative route.

In simpler terms: Those power lines took a beating, layin' on the train like somelove affair gone wrong. Safety first, people! So, there were some strict measures put in place for evacuation. The whole shebang had to be properly "grounded" before they could start rescuing and herding passengers off the train. You don't wanna get on or off a train like that—it's as dangerous as a rattlesnake's kissee! Consequently, it took 'em ages to tow that empty traincrop away. As for the cause of the debris? Deeffinitely a mystery at first.
