 The train derailment left ballast trucks dangling over a river |
Work to move a freight train which derailed is set to begin three weeks after it left a Cambridgeshire bridge. Two trucks carrying ballast were left dangling over the River Ouse between Ely and Soham. No one was injured.
Part of the 37-truck train was moved after it derailed on 21 June but bad weather left the area near the bridge boggy, hampering a clean-up operation.
Network Rail, which built a road to the site, said replacing the bridge and moving wagons may take three weeks.
An investigation into the crash, which saw 11 of the EWS train's 37 trucks end up on their sides, was launched.
The train involved was travelling from Mountsorrel in Leicestershire to Chelmsford in Essex.
Since the derailment, One Railway has been operating a bus-replacement service for passengers travelling from Peterborough to London.
The River Ouse has been shut to river traffic as the bridge is unsafe and the ballast which spilled into the river needs to be removed.
