International Railroad Discussion > MRS coil train derails in CPTM comuter system (Brazil)

Hi, it happened today in the first hours of December 3rd. A MRS train with steel coils and sand cars derailed while crossing the busy CPTM  comuter corridor of lines 11, 12 and 13 in Tapuapé, SP. The derailment affected the life of thousand of people that use the comuter system. Ten coil cars, four sand cars and five diesel locomotives derailed. It will take a few days to reopen the tracks.

1 - 3) Coil cars.
