Trains are operating again at a limited speed of 5 km/h, ensuring absolute safety for trains passing through the area. It is known that early this morning, the water level has receded below the railway stone foundation. Previously, many sections through Hue city had rocks washed away by floodwaters, exposing the rails and destabilizing the roadbed. On the night of October 30, hundreds of railway officials and workers were mobilized to work overtime overnight, urgently reinforcing and adding materials, checking the stability of the rail foundation, to promptly clear the line as soon as possible. At 6:30 a.m. on October 31, the train carrying rocks from Sy Hien station was arranged to enter the Van Xa station area to test the track and add rocks to washed-out and damaged positions. Thus, after 3 days of congestion, the entire North - South railway line was basically smooth, except for the pairs of trains SE5/6 and SE9/10, which were still temporarily suspended due to the impact of the previous adjusted schedule. During the time the route was divided, the railway industry organized the safe transportation of passengers through the flooded area. From 4:00 p.m. on October 27, the railway section passing through Hue city was flooded at a height of 0.15-0.2 m, forcing the railway industry to block the road. At the same time, the water level of the Huong River rose close to the bottom of the beams of Bach Ho and Da Vien bridges, only 0.1 m away. To protect the project, Binh Tri Thien Railway Joint Stock Company sent two trains carrying a total of 1,150 tons of stone from Dong Hoi (Quang Tri) and Huong Thuy (Hue) to block the two bridges, increasing the load to prevent the risk of being swept away by floods. At 10:00 a.m. on October 29, when the Huong River water was 1.2 m from the bottom of the bridge beam, the company withdrew two trains to Hue station. However, just 8 hours later, the Huong River flooded again, only 0.04 m from the bottom of the beam, the unit had to send two trains back to the bridge and move the train out of the bridge on the morning of October 30 to serve the railway line.
