Two Haundrea passenger trains collide at turn signal, 500 killed

October 27, 2011

HAUNDREA - A Southern Railroad EZ25 (front car) train packed with over 250 passengers was en route to Rinola, Ebananza from Kascubas, Natoru via Lobus, Soldina. The train's driver, Olroy de Calsa wanted to stop the train at Haundrea due to a brake problem on the front of the train. However, it was in rainy weather, thus Olroy failed to stop the train due to the slippery rails and serious braking problem. Stopping the train just made the train go faster. He saw a train switch, and switched to the left track. But there was another train in the way and Olroy wanted to switch tracks again, but by the next train switch the train crashed with the second train, having 376 passengers, killing all 376 aboard on the second train. Only 20 passengers survived.
