Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Minutes after the derailment and toppling of the Old Patagonian Express "La Trochita" just outside of Rio Chico in the Rio Negro Province of Argentina one week ago today (November 11). The Henschel & Sohn 2-8-2 steam locomotive number 114, built in 1922, encountered unexpected erosion on this embankment, derailed, and rolled onto its side taking all of the vintage wooden railcars along with it. Nearly 60 passengers (mostly British and American) and crew were onboard this private charter, but, miraculously, there were no fatalities and most people escaped with no or minor injuries (cuts and bruises). There were some major injuries including broken bones, burns, and dislocations--especially among crew members and passengers in the car that seemed to disintegrate. About 5 people were hospitalized and all but one have been released to my knowledge. |
