Train derails - twice
CIEGO DE ÁVILA, Cuba - May 29 (Tico
Morales, APLA / www.cubanet.org) - The train
known in the city of Morón as the
"Battle of Ideas" derailed twice
on May 20.
The freighter, pulled by an ancient American-made
locomotive, ran off the tracks near the
town of Peonía. A work crew from
Morón went to its aid, and managed
to put all the rolling stock back on track
after about six hours work.
Five minutes after resuming its route,
the train ran off the tracks again.
This time, a heavy duty crane had to be
brought in from Camagüey, since the
one available locally proved not up to the
task of righting the equipment.
The train typically carries building materials.
