The train had reportedly derailed due to damage caused to tracks by water runoffs between Phrae’s Kaeng Luang and Ban Pin stations. The accident caused two passenger carriages of the QSY electric diesel train No 5246 to turn over and detach from the bogies.
Officials were reportedly working on salvaging the carriages and there were no reports of injuries or casualties as of press time.
The rest of the carriages that were still on track have been pulled to Den Chai station in Phrae, where passengers will be transported to Chiang Mai by road.
The accident prompted the State Railway of Thailand to cancel trains No 102 (Lamphun -Krung Thep Aphiwat), No 8 (Chiang Mai – Krung Thep Aphiwat) and No 51 (Uttaradit – Chiang Mai) scheduled to run on Saturday.
