Railway incidents reported in Argentina and Spain

In Argentina, a young man sustained serious injuries after being struck by a train near the Balcarce station in Salta. The incident occurred around 8:45 AM on Monday as a train traveling from Güemes approached the station. Preliminary reports indicate the individual entered the tracks suddenly, and the driver was unable to stop the formation in time. Medical professionals are evaluating the victim for potential leg amputations.

In Spain, investigations into the January 2026 Adamuz train accident in Córdoba have revealed potential infrastructure irregularities. The Guardia Civil reported finding a section of track near the rail fracture point that lacked ballast, leaving sleepers “naked.” This finding, identified through Renfe cab recordings, has prompted judicial experts to determine if the absence of ballast contributed to the rail fracture and subsequent accident.
