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
