International Railroad Discussion > Derailment of train M211 ( Brazil)Date: 01/19/21 14:46 Derailment of train M211 ( Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, today about 5:00 AM empty ore M211 derailed at Km 845 due to a broken rail. Three U20C lay on their side and eight GDE class ore cars derailed. At this time, 7:45 PM, two cranes are coming to my area on way to the wreck site. Hope they can pass here tomorrow morning. They are the Vale mining Takraf and VLI Kirow cranes.

Terrible when we find a road with that soil in the rain season.
