Scene of train derailment on Hai Van Pass

On the morning of November 2, the North-South railway section through Hai Van Nam station (Da Nang city) was blocked due to a freight train derailment.

At 9:10 p.m. on November 1, train ASY2 pulled 20 carriages (load capacity of more than 840 tons) into line 1 of Hai Van Nam station.

At km771+800 between N2/4 mark of Hai Van Nam station, the axles of carriages 13, 14, 15 in the train flew off the rail, 2 containers on the carriages were overturned.

A container on a freight train's wagon tilted to the left in the direction the train was traveling.

According to Dan Tri reporter, the authorities quickly mobilized vehicles and human resources to the scene to rescue the cargo ship in trouble.

Specialized railway cranes were also dispatched to the scene to participate in the rescue.

Authorities fixed a derailed axle to carry out the next rescue steps.

Because the container is on the rails, the North-South railway, through Hai Van Pass, is still congested.

As of 11:00 a.m. on November 2, authorities were still trying to fix the problem.

The train derailed at km 771+800 between N2/4 station and Hai Van Nam station.

According to the Safety Management Department II (Vietnam Railway Authority), the incident occurred at 9:10 p.m. on November 1. Three cars of a freight train derailed.

The railway management unit, the railway traffic police force, and the railway safety management mobilized vehicles and human resources to the scene to carry out rescue operations.

A representative of Da Nang Railway Station said that last night and this morning (November 2), the railway industry has transferred passengers through the congested railway area. It is currently unknown when the line will be reopened.
