Repairs of all rail tracks in the South will take about a week

 

 

Rail tracks maintenance in all the flood-affected southern provinces will be completed in seven days, State Railways of Thailand governor Wutthichart Kalayanamit said on Friday.

 

The governor organized a special train bringing relief materials to help southern flood victims. The train stopped at Thung Song junction which is the farthest that all the south-bound trains can travel to.

 

Mr Wutthichart was in the special train to inspect damages to rail tracks. A heavy-duty maintenance car was on Friday brought to Ban Chong Khao in Thung Song district to help in track maintenance.

 

The governor said that, initially, the SRT would spend about 20 million baht for track repairs. But for long-term solution, 770 million baht will be needed to upgrade rail tracks, he added.
