The Phelophepa Healthcare Train\u2019s locomotive has derailed between Carolina and Waterval-Boven in Mpumalanga after a piece of the railway line was allegedly stolen.<\/p>\n
Transnet\u2019s rail freight services spokesperson Clement Maphaba said a part of the train track was allegedly stolen which caused the train’s locomotive to derail at around 10:00 on Saturday morning, Netwerk24 reported.<\/p>\n
The train driver saw the broken track ahead and reduced speed.<\/p>\n
No one was injured in the accident.<\/p>\n
The train was travelling from Ermelo to Waterval-Boven.<\/p>\n
The passenger cars did not derail.<\/p>\n
Maphaba said a Transnet repair team was on its way to equip the health train with a new locomotive so that it would be ready to treat people in Waterval-Boven on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to trainofhope.org, the Phelophepa Train of Hope is the world’s largest healthcare train, with 40 permanent medical staff members for each of the two trains.<\/p>\n
