Derailed wagons

This is reported by the railway magazine Railway Supply with reference to interfax.ru.

Recently, Russian media published photos of overturned wagons in Belgorod. The press service of the government of the Belgorod region explained that the reason for the convergence of three wagons with a cargo of “soy” in Belgorod “was a technical malfunction of the track section – rotten sleepers.”

“This is an access road belonging to ZSK-1. The owner of the cargo will have to take it out. And only then it will be possible to lift the wagons, remove them from the rails and decide what to do with this section,” the report says.

No casualties have been reported.
