TOKYO — An empty commuter train jumped the track near Tokyo early Sunday, slightly injuring its driver and conductor, railway officials said. The out-of-service train derailed after smashing into a maintenance carriage left lying on the line at Kawasaki at around 1 a.m. after the last train on the Tokyo-Yokohama commuter line had passed, officials said. The first and second cars of the 10-car train derailed on impact, trapping the only two men on board, but they were rescued later by firefighters who broke into the train by smashing windows, railway officials said. The driver of the maintenance carriage, located about 100 meters from a platform of the station with a crane on board, was safe after jumping clear before the crash.
Jarang dengar train tergelincir di Jepun tapi pada tahun 2005, dah pernah jadi kes macam ni di mana 106 penumpang JR Fukuchiyama maut selepas keretapi tergelincir dari landasan dan menghentam ke dalam sebuah apartment.
