The once pristine trains now lie crumpled and broken, a stark reminder of the human toll of the accident. The air is filled with the acrid smell of smoke and the silence of shock and grief. The collision occurred on a section of the railway that was known for its challenging terrain and steep gradients, making it a particularly dangerous stretch for trains.
