  • Derailment in Serbia 08.04.23

    From Robert@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 9 12:07:26 2023
    A train of tanks carrying molasses has derailed between Crvenka and
    Sivac on the Sombor - Vrbas route, at around 10:45 on 08.04.23. The
    interesting thing about this is that the route was officially closed as
    the track was in very bad condition!

    Yes, it's going to be difficult to keep the authorities sweet.
