Yala train service resumes after sabotaged rails

Thursday 5 July 2007 07:54:40 PM (GMT+7:00)

YALA, July 5 (TNA) - Thai State Railways workers have fixed sabotaged railway tracks after presumed insurgents removed more than 50 bolts from sleepers in Yala's Raman district early Thursday morning.

Without the bolts retaining the rails, the tracks spread under the weight of a passing locomotive, making the engine and carriages leave the tracks.

Train service resumed at 7.30 am.
