NRZ train derails at Mzilikazi Fly over

It appears it is no longer safe to travel by train in Zimbabwe as incidents of the train derailments seem to be escalating due to aged infrastructure.

Today a good train derailed at the Mzilikazi Fly over but it was very luck that it was not speeding and the driver managed to stop it soon as the derailment started.



Observations done at the scene of the accident show that the rail which the train was moving on broke just close to under the Mzilikazi fly over and the moving train pushed it aside and stop when it had started to slide such that it was about to land by its side.



Workers at the scene said it was not a surprise that the train was derailing considering the age of the railway's installation. They said it was now necessary for the government to rehabilitate the infrastructure so as to avoid such possible accidents.

They said it was fortunate that the train was not speeding the workers who were on board could have died if it was speeding...
