Railroad traffic between Azerbaijan, Georgia available again

Azerbaijani First Deputy Transport Minister Musa Panakhov told Itar-Tass the accident happened near the Mugan railroad station, 130 kilometers away Baku, at about 2:00 p.m. Moscow time. "The rail was too hot and the track widened," he said. "The accident has been cleaned up, and the traffic of freight and passenger trains between Baku and Tbilisi has resumed."

The spilled fuel oil is being collected under the supervision of environmental services, the official said.
