Brazil - Train derails in Rio
Print Edition
A COMMUTER train in Rio de Janeiro left the tracks and hit a pole supporting power lines on Wednesday, causing no injuries but sowing widespread chaos across the overtaxed public transportation system of Brazil’s Olympic city.
Officials said that some cars derailed at low speed as the train was approaching a station in the northern Sao Cristovao neighborhood. Television images showed little to no damage to the train, but iron poles were bent and power lines that feed energy to the train system were downed. The mishap comes less than five months ahead of kick-off for World Cup and is the latest in a series of recent cases that have raised questions about Brazil’s readiness.
