Back‑to‑Back Rail Disasters Leave Spain on Edge

                                  Wreckage of the high-speed train collision that occurred earlier this month

A commuter train derailed near Barcelona on Tuesday, killing the driver and leaving four passengers seriously injured, intensifying national concern only two days after a deadly high‑speed train collision elsewhere in Spain.

The derailment occurred in Gelida, a town just outside Barcelona, when a retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks during heavy rainfall. The impact forced several carriages off the rails, prompting a large emergency response involving firefighters, medical teams, and transport officials.

All passengers were eventually evacuated, though several required urgent medical attention. Authorities are now investigating whether structural weaknesses, recent storms, or maintenance lapses contributed to the collapse.

The incident comes at a moment of heightened scrutiny for Spain’s rail network, as the country grapples with two major accidents in less than 48 hours. Public pressure is mounting for a thorough review of infrastructure safety and emergency preparedness.
