Argentina.
 

A bad crash in ARgentina, many dead and trapped. The impact occurred at only 12mph apparently when the train hit the platform end or the stop block !

A sad report from around the world.

Very sad indeed. They seem to have had several bad accidents in Argentina.

Hi 27vet,
I'm off to Sau Paulo and Manaus tomorrow (Sunday) working for two weeks.
At what part of the equator are you residing? Looks like South Africa by your flag?
Have you any links with South America?

I'm from South Africa but living in Gabon at the moment. My ex boss had strong connections in Sao Paulo, said he loves the place. Let us know how you find it there.

Yes I will do.

Not much railway news in this corner of the world, there is only one train....

Only last night, a head on collision in Poland. I hope this is the last this year.
