DAMMAM: The Saudi Railways Organization yesterday launched an investigation into how a Dammam-bound passenger train traveled for around 10 kilo-meters along the wrong track near Abqaiq.
“The train, which left Riyadh station early in the day on Friday, was stopped at Kilo 84, about 10 kilometers away after running on the wrong track before reaching Abqaiq station,” an official source said.
The train schedule, which was disrupted as a result, resumed after the train was moved onto the right track. Railway authorities apologized to passengers for any inconvenience caused.
