Spanish Minister of Transport: A failure in the safety system of the railway network caused a train collision Xinhua News Agency, Madrid, October 28 (Reporter Gong Jhe) The Spanish Minister of Transport, Oscar Fuente, said in the capital Madrid on the 28th that the train collision that occurred near Toledo, the capital of the autonomous region of Castile-La Mancha in Spain, that morning was caused by a computer failure in the safety system of a network the trains. Fuente told a news conference that before the train collided, three computers on the rail network experienced communication failures, causing the train's control and safety system to stop working on a 63-kilometer section of the line near Orda train station in Toledo, in the autonomous region of Castile-La Mancha. Fuente said there were six trains stopped on the section of road when the incident occurred. Due to the stoppage of the trains and the paralysis of the safety control system, the control center at the Spanish Railway Infrastructure Administration began to manually manage the traffic in the relevant sections. At around 08:36 the control center issued an order to allow the SNCF trains that had been stopped earlier to resume operating normally. After traveling about 25 kilometers, the train collided with the Ilio train parked on the tracks at 8:53.
