TRAIN services have been suspended on a railway in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region because of strong winds, railway authorities said today.
Wind speeds reached more than 160 km per hour around 7:40 am on a section of railway between the Turpan and Yu'ergou train stations, forcing two trains to come to a halt, said a spokesman for the railway bureau of the regional capital of Urumqi.
Train K169 bound for the city of Korla from the city of Xi'an and train K9768 bound for Urumqi from the city of Aksu were stopped, stranding passengers on the train and at nearby stations, the spokesman said.
Train services had yet to be resumed as of 10 am today.
