Floods damage North-South railway

Hundreds of metres of railroad track in the North-South railway route running through the central provinces of Quang Binh and Quang Tri have been swept away by floods.

Following Storm Trami, many localities in the central region of Vietnam, including Quang Binh and Quang Tri, have struggled with severe inundation.

Floods have washed away hundreds of metres of the railway track linking Sa Lung Station in Quang Tri and Dong Hoi Station, paralyzing the service.

The Binh Tri Thien Railway Joint Stock Company has arranged buses to transport the affected passengers from Dong Ha Station to Dong Hoi Station and vice versa.

The passengers were offered free main meals and snacks during the train service suspension.

The firm has deployed 150 workers to repair the damaged railway section.
