    An overnight express on Malaysia's 327-mile East Coast branch line through the jungle has derailed. Although several coaches have left the formation and gone down a shallow bank there were no injuries. Maximum speed on this metre guage line is 45 mph. For more details check this forum.

    Some of the text may be in Malay but the guys there will translate for you.
    I traveled this line earlier this year (and drove the train for a while!). Pictures from this trip are on my railsing website (below).
