NAKHON RATCHASIMA: Northeastern train services resumed on Tuesday morning after a Bangkok-bound passenger train derailed when it hit a tree that fell onto the tracks during a storm in Huai Thalaeng district late on Monday night.

The derailment occured between Nong Krathing railway station and Huai Thalaeng station in Nakhon Ratchasima at 10.32pm on Monday, the State Railway of Thailand’s public relations team said on its Facebook page.

No passengers on the Ubon Ratchathani-Bangkok rapid train No142 were injured, but the northeastern line was closed.

Railway workers throughout the night salvage the train and clear the track. Services resumed at 5.21am, according to the SRT’s 1690 call centre.
