Rescue operations have ended and authorities will investigate what caused the crash in the city of Pardubice, police said Thursday. About 380 people were traveling aboard the passenger train, the Fire Rescue Service said. It was traveling overnight from Prague to the city of Chop in western Ukraine, according to operator RegioJet’s website. The freight train was carrying calcium carbide – a hazardous industrial chemical – although the first two wagons were empty, so no leak occurred, the fire department said. Footage after the crash on news website idnes.cz showed at least one carriage off the track, while police showed a line of emergency service vehicles and a helicopter in a post on X, Reuters reported. video here: https://tv.idnes.cz/domaci/vlakove-nestesti-v-pardubicich-ctyri-mrtvi-a-rada-zranenych.V240606_074617_idnestv_jda

Reportedly the coach chassis had some rust related damage from standing water/infiltration which may have made the accident worse. Inspections on other coaches revealed similar deterioration and as a result, these coaches have been taken out of circulation. I have not heard any information as to whether the ÖBB and CD, which also run this coach type, have conducted inspections and taken any action. These coaches are similar to the SBB RIC coaches (B, Bc). More info (German) here: https://www.drehscheibe-...en/read.php?030,10818045 Regards Mike C
