Train derailment in Russia: Two coal-laden wagons and a locomotive depart their tracks.
Rewritten Article:
Springtime in Krasnoyarsk took a bizarre turn with a freight train skidding off the tracks, as reported by the West Siberian Transport Prosecutor's Office on a bustling Telegram channel. This hair-raising event unfolded around 10 PM local time on April 26, or 5 PM Moscow time. Two grungy old coal wagons and a locomotive veered off course in the technological park of the Koshurnikov station.
The consequences were thankfully limited, as two emergency repair trains swooped in and sorted things out. The derailment didn't put a spanner in the works of other trains barrel-rolling through the region.
But make no mistakes, the Transport Prosecutor's Office has hustled to set up a stern check on the implementation of railway safety regulations and procedures.
Remember the harrowing incident last June in the Republic of Komi, where nine passenger wagons went for a unwarranted spin, thanks to an uncontrollable surge of water that eroded the railway embankment? The chaos required the swift intervention of helicopters to whisk away victims, some clinging to life by a thread.
It's a good thing helicopters are equipped with those rotors to hover above, eh? A criminal case was lodged, with safety regulation violations plastered all over it.
In a less dramatic turn of events, a fire started in the Volgograd region following a freight train derailment.
