El tercer tren de Urda: la espera bajo un puente a dos kilómetros de la tragedia

On Saturday, four days after the accident, a neighbor pointed out from above where the train had stopped, where passengers had emerged and the path they took when they came to help. Behind them, the destroyed Renfe carriages and the Iryo lay along with cranes. Ramón Rubio de Castro was traveling on the third train. "When one is just a few meters from such a tragedy, one truly understands how close everything can be if it had been completely different," he says over the phone.

This Saturday morning, this newspaper could see a Renfe train being moved towards Madrid on the line that remains closed to rail traffic following the accident.
