Following a significant accident in the San Jose neighborhood of Tibas, Costa Rican Railway Institute (Incofer) technicians and workers have successfully repaired the extensive damage to the locomotive and train cars. The incident, which occurred last Friday, led to the temporary suspension of some train operations. Incofer has assured the public that services connecting the capital with the northern provinces of Heredia and Alajuela will resume this Monday after a comprehensive inspection by railway specialists. The accident resulted in injuries to 12 passengers and crew members, all of whom are now in stable condition and recovering, though they continue to experience psychological effects from the incident, according to the local Red Cross. Incofer confirmed in a press release that all train services are now operating normally, ensuring safe and reliable transportation for passengers. The company’s personnel efficiently evacuated all 100 passengers from the train cars immediately after the accident.
