Metal Debris From Freight Car Disrupts Train Service in Haifa Area
Israel Railways suspended train traffic this morning, Sunday, between Haifa Hof HaCarmel, Haifa Bat Galim, Haifa Center HaShmona, and HaMifrats Central stations after metal items fell from a freight car. The disruption came on one of the busiest mornings of the week, when soldiers return to their bases after the Saturday break.
As a result, trains arriving from the north are ending their trips at HaMifrats Central, while trains coming from the south are starting and ending at Haifa Hof HaCarmel. There are also changes to train service in the north and to service frequency.
Israel Railways said crews are working to restore normal operations, and that the incident is being examined and investigated. The company apologized for the inconvenience.
