Human error? After several repairs over the weekend, Someone may have left the track in inappropriate circumstances.. Or, at the time of the accident, The signalman made the wrong decision. Is it an electrical failure? ADV may have changed due to malfunction.a system that vehicles have to change rails, which may have caused the derailment on the Sarmiento line formation. These are the two hypotheses set out in a preliminary report by Trenes Argentinos and the National Transport Regulatory Commission (CNRT), which will serve as input for the investigation by the court. Julian Ercolini For the government’s second lucky railway accident, Javier Millay: There were no serious casualties this time either.
The first option, the possibility of human inattention, was quickly reinforced when a discrepancy occurred at track change number 54 at 3:45 p.m., causing a detour, after the train had left Riniere station in the direction of Once. Just last weekend, employees of construction company Herso, part of the Emepa Group, Gabriel Romeroroad reinforcement work was being carried out. “That’s probably the first thing the unions will say,” the government expects. However, once the first technical confirmation was obtained, this suspicion lost its meaning. It was suggested that the work would have been carried out on the opposite road, rather than on the road towards Onse.
The second possibility is an energy issue. The last of the seven cars may have activated the course change when it had not yet finished overtaking.. Until Tuesday night, hours after the derailment, train engineers thought that was the most likely possibility.
A railway system consists of tracks, switches, signals, signal circuits, and signal rooms. Once you have set the train’s destination, set the switch in that direction and the tracks corresponding to that route will be linked and the formation will proceed. If this interlock fails due to mechanical, electrical, or other causes, there is one last alternative. Cabin signallers can reroute on an emergency basis. Something went wrong about everything.
You will have to wait several hours for the final results. This was the second notification to the government. The first incident occurred on May 10 last year, when a passenger train on the San Martín line collided with an empty passenger train from behind a few meters from the federal capital Palermo station, injuring 90 people, but no one was seriously injured.
This time, unlike that time, the formation moved at minimum speed. Maximum 60km/h section is 47km/h. Although some improvements have been made in recent months, the old coexists with the new, and the slowness of the system, which has been disinvested for several years since the executive branch declared a state of rail emergency by statute after the 2024 accident, is welcome. The declaration stipulates a P1.3 trillion disbursement for the entire national network, of which P350 million was supposed to arrive last year but has not yet arrived.. Specifically, due to budget constraints, we have been able to cover only the monthly expenses necessary for immediate operations, and have not kept any emergency stockpiles.
The last news the authorities received in this regard was that an important batch would be ready this month. But they waited long enough. The more you say that Gabriel Bosinthe president of Torrenes Argentinos Operaciones (Sofse), even proposed canceling the state of emergency if the promised amount was not met, as any accident could lead to criminal charges. It is likely that Sarmiento’s derailment has accelerated, and at this rate verbs and irony apply, and some underlying decision applies For the future.
