- Details
A 300-METRE section of the Hanyi High-Speed Railway between Wuhan and Yichang near the Three Gorges Dam, collapsed in heavy rain, reports the Wall Street Journal, adding that this comes after the July train crash near Wenzhou that killed 40 people.
A collapsed section is expected to open in May. Hundreds of construction workers are working to repair the affected section, according state media. The extent of the collapse wasn't immediately clear and there were no reports on any injuries.
Hou Xinyue, a local railway official in Qianjiang, argued that the incident affected 4.3 miles of the rail line, a larger stretch of track than reported by state media. The local rail bureau is said to be still investigating the accident.
