A long section of a Phnom Penh-bound freight train, travelling the same line only recently reopened for passenger service to Sihanoukville, derailed early yesterday morning in Kandal province’s Kandal Stung district, prompting experts to call for increased regulation and monitoring of the rail system.

 

The incident occurred at 5am when the mid-section of a Royal Railways freight train – comprised entirely of empty flatbed cars – came off the rails as it passed a crossing in Tbeng commune.

 

No one, including the driver, was reported injured. Pictures posted by Kandal provincial police on Facebook, show some of the flatbed rail cars strewn along the embankment of the raised rails, with workers working on a section of the track in the aftermath of the incident.
