Det är tur att det går mycket sakta just där. Av bilden att döma så ser det ut att hela tågsetet bara lagt sig på sidan, så fort kan det inte ha gått.
Åkte mycket tåg förr på denna linjen. Underhållet har mycket att önska....

Passengers fled the scene.
The northern train heading to Chiang Mai derailed at 3am today in Phrae, causing injuries to some 30 passengers.
BANGKOK: -- All train carriages fell off from the track, as the train derailed near Denchai district. Over 290 passengers were on board.
Prapas Chongsanguan, governor of the State Railway of Thailand, initially attributed the accident to the poor condition of the track. Maintenance has been planned for the sloping and curvy point where the accident happened.
Buses and vans were mobilised from Denchai, to transport affected passengers, local and foreign, to Chiang Mai. Three foreigners suffered from broken arms and 24 from minor injuries, and they were sent to the district’s hospital.
Chalermwoot Rakkhatiwong, Denchai district chief, said that all passengers have been transferred out of the scene.
The train left Bangkok at 7pm on July 16.
Train schedules are changed after the accident. Speed trains from Chiang Mai to Bangkok scheduled for today will be cancelled. Normal train from Chiang Mai will be operated as usual, but passengers in Chiang Mai, Lamphun and Lampang will have to take buses to board the train at the Uttaradit station. Affected passengers can return tickets and receive full compensation.
