Traffic partially resumes after train derailment
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-08-01 13:16 Southward trains from
Changchun to Dalian in northeast China resumed early Monday after a train
derailment that killed six, injured 30 and laid over thousands of passengers
Sunday evening.
Thanks to overnight emergency repairs, railway traffic from Changchun to
Dalian resumed at 5:05 a.m., said sources with Shenyang Railway Bureau.
Yet repair work is continuing to restore traffic the other way round, they
said.
The K127 passenger train from the northwestern city of Xi'an to Dalian in the
northeast hit a cargo train at 7:52 p.m. Sunday near Shenyang, capital of
northeast China's Liaoning Province. Five cars of the passenger train were
derailed.
The Changchun-Dalian railway is the southern part of the landmark electric
railway between Harbin and Dalian, China's first electric railway in northeast
China operational from 2001.
