This Tuesday afternoon, a goods train derailed spectacularly, after nine of its carriages, including two fuel tanks that were fortunately empty, left the tracks, causing concern among local residents.
The accident occurred at around 14.00 on Prolongación Martín Enrique Street. The noise caused by the crash of the cart startled the neighbors who rushed to see what had happened.
The cars were strewn on both sides of the tracks, some of them badly damaged. Two of them hit the back of an abandoned factory, thus preventing a major disaster from occurring, as no one was at the scene at the time of the incident.
After the derailment, a small fire broke out in a nearby pasture, prompting a quick response from the fire department; They were able to extinguish the fire before it spread, securing the area and eliminating additional dangers.
Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries, and local authorities are already investigating the cause of the accident.
