Workers attempt to remove a part of a derailed train near Taroko Gorge in Hualien this morning.
Friday’s crash was Taiwan’s worst rail accident in seven decades, when an express train hit the truck that had slid down a bank beside the track from the building site, whose manager is suspected of having failed to properly engage the brake.

Workers on Saturday began moving the train’s rear portion, which was relatively unscathed as it had stopped outside the tunnel away from the accident spot.
