A man was killed and another injured when a train derailed along an embankment. Reportedly, the embankment gave way and two engines plunged into the hole. While this had never been an issue, it may have occurred because of the frost coming out and the moisture that resulted. It is believed that the man who died tried to jump from the lead engine as the ground began to collapse.
