Taiwan train crash
Author: 86235

This looks very serious, sounds like it hit an obstruction on the track.

I saw one source that said it's an 80 MPH line.  It hit a large truck.

I think it was on the 42" network, not the standard gauge high speed line. Max speed on the 42" lines is 130 kph, 81 mph.
