PNR train derails in Makati


A Philippine National Railways (PNR) train derailed while traveling in Don Bosco, Makati City Tuesday morning, April 18.

According to Francis Lumahan, one of the passengers interviewed by Manila Bulletin, said the train was traveling from Tutuban to Alabang when the derailment occurred.

Lumahan said one of the PNR employees told him that a mechanism to switch railroad tracks in the area flicked, causing the train to divert to a different track.

"Emergency brakes were applied. He says that the said mechanism had lost some screws when they checked it," he added.

No one was hurt in the incident.

Meanwhile, the PNR said that they are already investigating the incident.
