After making landfall with heavy rain and strong winds, storm No. 3 has affected many railway infrastructures. According to the preliminary report of Vietnam Railway Corporation, the storm caused many large trees, ancient trees, and information poles to fall across the railway tracks, and broken barriers.
Heavy rain also caused water to flood the top of the rails at some locations on the lines. Roofs were blown off at some stations such as Yen Cu station, Ha Long station, etc.
To overcome the consequences of storm No. 3, railway companies have directed functional departments and road supply and demand departments to quickly arrive at the scene, remove fallen trees and information poles to ensure road clearance.
At some locations on the rail top flooded, the forces at the units continue to monitor and clear. At the same time, to ensure safety in the broken areas that need to be blocked, the units carry out repairs and guard.
Some railway lines have now resumed operation after overcoming the consequences. At the same time, Vietnam Railways Corporation continues to cancel trains LP3 and LP6 departing on September 8 to cope with storm No. 3.
