Scare On the Heredia Train
It was shortly before 5:30pm when some 200
passengers of the San José - Heredia
commuter train got the scare of their lives
when one of the train cars left the tracks
in Cinco Esquinas de Tibás.
The president of the Instituto Costarricense
de Ferrocarriles (Incofer), Miguel
Carabaguíaz, explained last night that one
of the spikes of the railways ties snapped.
Meanwhile passengers were moved to another
train and completed their trip, while the
other four train runs were suspended until
9pm when service was restored.
Emergency crews responded to the call and
reported that none of the passengers has
suffered any injury, save for frailed
nerves.
This is the second time the San José -
Heredia commuter train has suffered an
accident since the beginning of service on
August 10.
On the third day of service (August 12) a
vehicle crossed the path of the train at the
Miraflores de Heredia, when one of the train
cars was pelted with a rock.
