I read a story either here, on boards or Shudder IRN about ICE in germany at holiday time.
Some ICE carriages were so overloaded, they wouldn't move because there's a weight sensor in the axels and the sheer weight of passengers tripped the sensors.

I couldn't see this happening on a train here.
( probably cos there's no weight sensors

)
