直击郴州·雨夜抢通

The Train No.T179 derailed on Beijing-Guangzhou railway in Hunan Province between Matianxu and Qifengdu railway stations on March 30th, 2020, due to a sudden outbreak of landslide burying the track. Although the engineers pushed emergency braking at the sight of it, it was too late. After a clash, six coaches behind the locomotive were overturned, with the first one, a power-generating car on fire. A policeman onboard was killed in the accident and other 127 were injured, including 5 crew members. After the accident, Guangzhou Railway Group immediately dispatched four rescue trains rushing to the site. The rescue and relief in that rainy day lasted overnight, with all rescuers dealing with the emergency as fast as possible. In the morning of March 31st, a freight train of Super Speed Parcel Express driven by a DF4 diesel locomotive slowly went through the area, making itself the first to pass the area after the Beijing-Guangzhou railway in the site was repaired.
