Christ. I could hardly believe what the FX driver told me yesterday. Walang ganyan sa States, boi. Good thing nobody was in those boxcars.
Probe on LRT train collision starts; retrieval disrupts EDSA traffic
Even as it allayed fears of a collision involving trains with passengers, the Light Rail Transit Administration started Saturday an investigation into the collision of two of its coaches in Quezon City.
LRTA spokesman Hernando Cabrera said they will have to retrieve the “black box" data recorders of the two trains that collided at the reversing track on Friday.
“Each of the trains in Friday’s mishap has a black box that recorded the systems data at the time of the incident. We have to download the information once the coaches are brought to the yard at our Baclaran depot," Cabrera said in Filipino in an interview on dzRH radio.
He said cranes had already been deployed to the site of the incident, but had disrupted traffic along the southbound part of Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA).
Cabrera advised motorists to avoid the southbound lane for now and take alternate routes.
Friday’s incident occurred at the reversing track near the LRT’s Roosevelt station, forcing the LRTA to cut operations between Roosevelt and Monumento.
In an interview on dzBB radio Friday, Cabrera said the LRT operations between Monumento and Baclaran would continue.
