Rail traffic halted after flash flood

A rain-triggered landslide buried a section of railway in Chongqing municipality on Friday, disrupting services of more than a dozen trains. Early on Friday morning, a flash flood triggered a landslide, bringing about 3,000 cubic meters of dirt and rocks onto the railway tracks between Pengshui and Gaogu, said China Railway Chengdu Group Co. Railway authorities have sent workers to clear the debris in a bid to restore traffic.
