CAIRO — After three train cars flipped over July 13 near Al-Badrashin train station in Cairo’s Giza governorate and injured more than 55 people, the efficiency of Egypt's railway system has been once again placed under the spotlight.
The Al-Badrashin incident is not the first of its kind this year in Egypt. On Feb. 28, two trains collided in Beheira governorate in northern Egypt, killing 12 people and wounding 39. On Aug. 11, 2017, two trains collided in Alexandria governorate, also in the north of Egypt, killing 49 people and injuring 179.
