Singapore can do better than this, methinks.

Faulty train caused 'extensive damage' to track between Clementi and Dover, leading to power trip and disruption

Engineers found 34 rail breaks across 1.6km of tracks.

WHAT HAPPENED

At about 9am on Wednesday, a faulty first-generation Kawasaki
Heavy Industries train that has been in service for more than
35 years was returning to Ulu Pandan Depot when its axle box
dislodged and dropped, said SMRT and LTA.

This caused one bogie - or an undercarriage with wheels - to
come off the running rail between Dover and Clementi stations.

In turn, this severely damaged the track and track equipment,
with 34 rail breaks across 1.6km of westbound tracks between
Clementi and Dover stations. Three machines that are used to
divert trains to different tracks, a third rail that supplies
power, as well as power cables and rail clips were also damaged.
