Adana: Locomotive Accident Like a Movie

Locomotive accident like a movie in Adana - In Adana, the locomotive, whose hand brake was not applied, traveled 40 kilometers freely.

In Adana, there was a disaster due to the mechanics who got off the locomotive to meet the need without applying the hand brake. Two mechanics using the locomotive with a single wagon going from Ulukışla to Adana direction went to the sink in Çiftehan district without applying the hand brake, and the train went down the hill for about 40 kilometers. The locomotive, which was left unattended, was prevented by being removed from the rails in the Belemedik region at the last minute, rather than colliding head-on with the Çukurova Express coming from Adana.

EVERYTHING BEGINED WITH THE MACHINERY GOING TO THE LAVABOYA

2 day before the event started in the Çiftehan region to go to the sink to fix the need for mechanics. The locomotive, which the machinists forgot to apply the handbrake, made their way downhill. When they came from the sink, the train could not find the machine, immediately reported the situation to the supervisor by phone.

THE FACIA IS RECEIVED IN THE LAST TIME

In order to prevent the locomotive, which travels about 40 kilometers on its own, from colliding with the Çukurova Express coming from the opposite direction, the tracks were changed in Belemedik region. The locomotive without the mechanic was taken off the rails and directed into the void. Officials learned that if there is a 5-minute delay, the collision of the two trains cannot be prevented.
