Railway workers at Hua Lamphong railway terminal have been working since Sunday to remove a derailed train carriage, to fix damaged rail tracks in order to restore normal train service.

 

In-bound and out-bound train service at Hua Lamphong train station has been suspended after a carriage of Bangkokp-Kaeng Khoi train Noo 342 derailed as it was approaching the station.

 

An official of the State Railway of Thailand the carriage derailed at the time when a mechanic shifted the rail track.  The derailed carriage tilted one side, blocking both in-bound and out-bound rail tracks.  There were three passengers in the derailed carriage, but none of them were hurt.

next they will be getting the trains

and then maybe the track

Looks like the points have been set the wrong way which would indeed cause a train to possibly derail. But surely the signalling person would notice this, and so too should the driver.

As I was on the train pulling out of Hua Lamphong on Friday afternoon, I thought to myself that I hadn't heard of any recent derailments...
