Mudslide leads railway to suspend service

Heavy rain triggered a mudslide on Thursday morning, prompting authorities to suspend services on a section of a railway in Yunnan province. China Railway Kunming Group said the mudslide hit Lahadi Station on the Kunming-Hekou meter-gauge railway at about 3:20 am, submerging some trains parked at the station and disrupting railway communication. All of the 48 staff members and their families at the station have been evacuated, and service on a section of the railway has been suspended. The company has mobilized workers to repair the railway, which handles China's exports to Vietnam, and has redirected freight trains to another standard-gauge railway.
