南迴鐵路在八月三十一號發生列車撞上土石流的意外,導致列車脫軌分離,17人輕重傷。原本預計明天一早才會恢復通車,但在台鐵人員和國軍弟兄不眠不休的搶修之下,提前到今天上午十點半恢復通車。
機車頭緩緩開進出事的枋山二號隧道內,一路平安順暢的開出隧道,來回試了兩次車,台鐵宣布上午十點半南迴線恢復通車。
清晨時，工程人員趕緊把脫離位置的鐵軌重新擺好,仔細校正有沒有直後，再緊緊的栓牢。鐵軌中間和旁邊過多的土石也得挖除。
第一班列車是從高雄新左營站發出的自強號,中午通過事故現場。而台東方面往高雄的列車也在約11點發出。直到這一刻,工作人員終於鬆了一口氣。
Service has resumed on the South-Link Railway after workers toiled day and night to repair track and clear dirt and mud. The line connects the eastern and western coasts at the southern end of the island but was closed after a landslide caused a train derailment.
After a locomotive twice slowly entered and exited the Fangshan second tunnel without incident, Taiwan Railways announced that service would resume at 10:30 am on the South-Link Railway.
Early in the morning, builders repaired rail tracks that went course. After recalibrating and fixing the tracks, they cleared rocks and soil.
The first service was an express train that left from New Zuoying Station in Kaohsiung and passed through the tunnel around noon. Heading in the opposite direction, a train left Taitung at around 11 in the morning. When it passed through the tunnel, workers finally were able to relax.
