Worst railway accident in modern Japan

Fukuchiyama Line derailment accident

(107 dead, 562 injured)

Although it was a derailment

Fortunately, the train on the other side

The trains behind stop at the right time.

A secondary accident, a train collision, did not occur.

How did these trains stop?

Opposite train (blue)

I was driving slowly because the track traffic lights were strange.

Stop immediately after hearing the emergency stop signal at the railroad crossing.

Stop 43m before the crossing (approximately 200m from the accident site)

Spotted train wreck after stopping

Rear train (green)

The track traffic lights were yellow and red and the train radio was making noise so it was moving slowly.

Upon witnessing the accident in front of the train and at the same time hearing the emergency stop signal at the level crossing, it immediately stopped.

Stop approximately 200m from the accident site

Red: Accident point

Big yellow: where the back train stopped

Six-pointed orange star: crossing

Little yellow: Where the opposite train stopped

While waiting at the level crossing, I witnessed the accident and immediately pressed the level crossing emergency stop button.
