Rain stops trains as more is forecast
Print Edition
TORRENTIAL rain in central China’s Hunan Province has disrupted train services, a rail company official said yesterday.
Since midnight on Sunday, more than 100 trains have been forced to stop, delay or detour along five lines, including one connecting Shanghai and Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, said a manager with Guangzhou Railway Group.
Up to 27 railway sections along the five lines were reported to have been affected by rain-triggered landslides or floods, he said.
An expressway bridge under construction collapsed because of rain around 10am in Yiyang, creating a barrier lake near a national-level road. The flooding disrupted traffic along the road.
China’s meteorological authority renewed its orange alert for heavy rain in the south and southwest of the country, saying heavy rain will hit Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region until this morning.
