The driver of one of the trains was killed and six people were injured, two seriously.
It appears that the French-bound passenger train ignored a stop light, for as yet unknown reasons.
The incident occurred near the Bettembourg yard and the French border zone of Zoufftgen, where, in 2006, a similar collision occurred, resulting in the death of six people.
Traffic on the line between the two countries will be suspended for the next 48 hours.
