Four months after ten 12-meter-long, 6-ton gas pipes fell from freight train 4105 at the Haifa Center HaShmona station, with some rolling into a nearby street, Israel Railways has yet to release the findings of its safety investigation to the public. A document circulated internally to some employees on Wednesday stated the incident was caused by the "incorrect positioning" of a part meant to secure the pipes on the wagon. Israel Railways stated that the matter is being "thoroughly investigated and conclusions have been drawn."
