The Taiwan Railways Administration today released its investigative report on last Sunday’s deadly train crash in Yilan involving a Puyuma express. It said 17 items relating to this type of train, including transmissions equipment and power systems, were all, quote, “normal.”
However, the TRA’s failure to provide detailed data in an attachment to the report has drawn criticism from experts, who say that the inspection should have been conducted by a third party. In response, Vice Minister of Transportation Wang Kuo-tsai said a more comprehensive investigation will be conducted by a special task force under Cabinet, with a detailed report to be produced in three months.
