Berlin (Germany), Aug 11 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Clemens Bilan) The two-day strike called by the German machinists union GDL has paralyzed rail traffic throughout the country, where only 25% of the long-distance trains and also regional and commuter lines are being seriously affected.FOOTAGE OF THE STRIKE IN BERLIN, GERMANY.

With German train drivers on strike, services across the capital Berlin remain disrupted and intermittent, with cancellations and reduced services seen across both local and regional train journeys. Disruption is expected across the country as a result of the train drivers' union's latest salvo in an escalating dispute over working conditions. It is their second walkout in weeks -- in mid-November, train drivers staged a 20-hour strike that led to the cancellation of some 80 percent of long-distance trains nationwide. IMAGES
