Cargo train derailed in Surakarta
SURAKARTA, Central Java: Three out of a train's 16 tank cars
jumped the rails at Balapan Train Station in Surakarta on
Wednesday, but no fatalities were reported.
The train was heading east to Madiun regency, East Java
province, from Yogyakarta when the accident occurred.
The derailed cars started leaking kerosene, prompting workers
for state-owned train operator PT Kereta Api Indonesia to bring
drums to siphon off the remaining spilled kerosene. Each tank car
contains 37,000 liters of kerosene. -- Antara
