The third train of Urda: the wait under a bridge two kilometres from the tragedy

A train accident has resulted in 69 deaths. A passenger train, an AVE, was stopped under a bridge with passengers on board, unaware of the tragedy that had just occurred two kilometers away. The accident involved a Renfe and an Iryo train, and four days later, wreckage was still being cleared by cranes. A train was seen being transported towards Madrid on the closed railway line.
