The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has lodged a police complaint in relation to a derailment in Nakhon Ratchasima on Thursday night.
Several sections of a cargo train derailed as it approached a railroad switch. Nobody was hurt.
“We suspect that someone might have messed with the switch,” SRT senior official Paisal Chaibanmai said yesterday.
Non Sung Police Station superintendent Colonel Pissanu Wattu said the track where the incident happened was relatively new. “It has been in service for less than a year,” he said.
It took more than 12 hours to remove the derailed sections, but normal services had resumed as of press time.
