Some North-South trains passing through Khanh Hoa temporarily stopped due to flooding

On the evening of November 16, a representative of the Nha Trang Railway Transport Branch said that heavy rain in Khanh Hoa province caused some railway sections in the Nga Ba - Cam Thinh Dong section (Nam Cam Ranh commune) to be deeply flooded.

At km1369+421, the water level was about 0.25m above the rail track. At km1367+050, rocks and soil flooded down and blocked the rail gap. From 3:30 p.m., the railway industry temporarily stopped trains at both Nga Ba and Cam Thinh Dong stations to wait for the water to recede, then they will continue their journey.

Specifically, train SE6 departs from Saigon station and waits at Cam Thinh Dong station; train SE22 departs from Saigon station and waits at Ka Rom station; train SE21 departs from Da Nang station and waits at Nha Trang station.

Authorities worked to fix the problem in the rain, but the weather continued to be bad, and the risk of safety remained high. Passengers were given a place to wait and were provided with necessities.

At about 9:26 p.m., the water gradually receded, and the North-South train journey was basically restored.

According to the forecast of Khanh Hoa Hydrometeorological Station, the risk of flash floods and landslides in the province has been raised to level 1 natural disaster risk. In the next 6 hours, rainfall in the South of Khanh Hoa may reach 50 - 100mm, in some places exceeding 150mm; in the North of Khanh Hoa it will fluctuate 40 - 70mm, in some places it may exceed 100mm.
