As reported by CAND Newspaper, due to the impact of storm Kalmaegi, a railway section of more than 90km long at km 1136+850 on the trans-Vietnam railway section Van Canh - Phuoc Lanh was washed away by floodwaters to a depth of about 9m, causing a section of rail to hang in the air, leading to railway traffic congestion in this locality.

The railway sector has mobilized human resources, equipment and vehicles to the scene to focus on implementing remedial measures. However, due to the deep landslide location, the large volume of rock and soil that needs to be filled up, the complex terrain, and the remaining floodwaters, the remedial work has encountered many difficulties, but efforts are still being made to shorten the time to reopen the railway as soon as possible.
