Another train got wrecked by the weather. A National Railways of Zimbabwe freight train hauling coal and chrome to Mozambique derailed near Chikombedzi after heavy rain. The line got washed out in the Makambe area, specifically around St. John's, leaving several wagons damaged. NRZ rep Andrew Kunambura confirmed the mess, noting no one got hurt.
Kunambura called it a washaway, where floods erode the track foundation. He said these things happen everywhere, and a crew is on it. They figure the line will be running again within two days. The full damage to the cars and rails is still being looked at, but crews are supposedly working fast to clear it.
