Eseka records another train derailment

A second train derailment in two months and a third since 2016 has happened in the locality of Eseka, in the Centre region of Cameroon.

Reports say a freight train coming from Yaounde ran out of it’s track at the Souhè tunnel last night.

Teams from the railway company, Camrail, have since been at the scene assessing the damage.
