International train services change route due to wagons derail in Hungary
Two international train services operate on amended routes after a freight train derailed on Sunday shortly after noon, the Mávinform train information provider said on Facebook.
The affected services are the Maros Intercity service to Arad and the Fogaras InterCity to Brasov in Romania, Mávinform said on Monday.
On Sunday, nine of 17 wagons of a freight train operating between Szolnok and Békéscsaba derailed at Kétpó but the engine and eight wagons stayed on the tracks. Hazardous material was transported in four of the derailed wagons and one of them got damaged, as well as the railtracks and overhead lines.
