A nightmare for passengers and crew alike. Reporter rode the train that Germans fear

It's a few minutes past 2 in the afternoon and the last stragglers trudge onto the train in the provincial German town of Suhl. They are heading to Erfurt, Thuringia's capital, which is a 50-minute drive away. It is a moment, but for many passengers it has often been too long an experience. Forty-thousand-year-old Suhl is home to one of the largest migrant camps in Germany. Migrants heading to Erfurt for entertainment have become a postrech.
