According to recent data, 25 people died and 64 received injuries of varying degrees as a result of the wreck of the 'Nevsky Express', which occurred last Friday on the border of the Tver and Novgorod regions. The crash occurred in a forest belt, which was difficult to drive to, and outside mobile communication range. During the initial inspection of the accident, a small crater was found beneath one of the rails, and its origin is under investigation. One of the major theories about the cause of the accident is that it was an act of terrorism. Lists of passengers who were in the coaches that left the rails have already been drawn up. Evacuation of passengers is underway. 30 victims were sent to Bologoye, Aleshinka and Borovichi, while 20 more went by train to Uglovka. 'Vesti' TV reports that, according to recent data, one of the coaches is lying on the rails, another standing on the tracks about 300 meters from the train, while a third warped. The wreck of Train No. 166, en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg, occurred on the Aleshinka-Uglovka stretch at October Railways kilometer marker No. 285, about 20 kilometers from the city of Bologoye. The train left Moscow at 18:30 Moscow time and was due to arrive in St. Petersburg at 23:00. Rescuers and law enforcement officials are currently working on the scene, and Vladimir Yakunin, president Russian Railways, Inc. is traveling to there. The Russian Transportation Ministry has set up an operational headquarters to ascertain the cause of the crash, headed by Department Chief Igor Levitin. Also leaving for the scene was a group headed by Deputy Transport Minister Andrew Medosekov. The composition of Task Force also included Chief Roszhildor Valery Petrakov and Acting Inspector of Transportation Alexander Kasyanov. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was informed about the incident. The President instructed the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS), Sergei Shoiga, to take all necessary measures to assist the victims, and FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov and Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika were told to conduct all necessary investigations to determine the cause of the incident. The Russian MChS has opened telephone hotlines in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In Moscow the telephone number is: The October Railway has also opened a hotline on which you can learn about 'Nevsky Express' passengers arriving in St. Petersburg: The current accident is not the first with the 'Nevsky Express'. On August 13th, 2007, along the Burg-Krasnenko stretch of track in the Novgorod region, a train, en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg, also crashed. The cause of that accident was the explosion of an improvised device planted under the railway tracks. Sixty passengers at that time required medical assistance. The 'Nevsky Express' was commissioned in 2001. It can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, and its travel time, from Moscow to St. Petersburg or in the other direction, is 4 hours and 30 minutes. There are 68 seats in the ordinary carriages, while the coupe service coaches have eight compartments with six seats each. The locomotive is a Czech CS-200 electric locomotive. The length of a passenger car is 25.5 m, the width is slightly more than three meters, and the weight is 57 tons. The service life for a coach is 40 years, according to The 'Interfax' news agency reports that passengers from the 'Nevsky Express' will soon be delivered to St. Petersburg. Their expected time of arrival is at 04:00 Moscow time. According to an eyewitness to the incident, «all the victims were placed onto the 'Peregrine Falcon' train, which was nearby. They'll be brought to St. Petersburg on it.» He also said that, at the time of the incident, the coaches on the end broke away from the rest of the rolling stock, which were still able to travel ahead some distance. «And so it happened that some cars that flipped, and in these suffered the greatest number of people, and they ended up a some distance from the rest of the train. Before this, before the accident people head a snap,» he said. At this time, traffic on the Aleshinka-Uglovka stretch has been temporarily halted. Trains from St Petersburg to Moscow are delayed by up to seven hours, and dispatchers are giving passengers this information. According to dispatchers, trains will leave as soon as they are available and take an alternate route to the Bologoye station before returning to the main route. Passengers are been told that tickets may be returned for a full refund. A total of 663 tickets were purchased for the 'Nevsky Express', which crashed on the border of the Tver and Novgorod regions.
