Difficult to open the Northern railway

Serious railway landslide due to heavy rain in Ha Tinh, train cannot run.

Regarding the repair of landslides on the North-South railway line through Ha Tinh, speaking to reporters of Giao thong Newspaper, Mr. Cao Tien Hung, Director of Nghe Tinh Railway Joint Stock Company, said that at the landslide locations, thousands of cubic meters of soil from the railway's negative slopes had flowed down to Ngan Sau River. There were landslide locations up to 60 meters long, 10 meters deep, and the rails were hanging. In addition, there were locations where soil and trees on the positive slopes had fallen onto the railway.

"Railway units are focusing on repairing the situation. However, due to the serious landslide and the location being inconvenient for road access, the rescue and repair work cannot be completed today," said Mr. Hung.

Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company said that the railway is currently planning a transport plan due to the impact of landslides on the North-South railway in Ha Tinh. It is expected that the SE20 train departing from Da Nang and 3 other trains departing from Hanoi today will be stopped. Other trains currently running will continue to transport passengers through the blockaded area.

Railways carry out passenger transfers of trains through the blockaded area.

Early this morning (October 30), prolonged heavy rain caused serious landslides on the North-South railway line at Km 354+900 - Km 355+750 in the Yen Due - Hoa Duyet section (Ha Tinh), with rocks washed away from the roadbed.

By morning, heavy rain continued to cause serious landslides in many locations in this section, making it impossible for trains to run. Two trains, SE1 from Hanoi and SE20 from Da Nang, had to stop and wait for the road.

After that, railway units safely transferred passengers on trains SE1 and SE20 by car between Yen Trung station (Duc Tho, Ha Tinh) and Hoa Duyet station (Vu Quang, Ha Tinh).
