Kyushu Railway Co., which operates trains on Japan’s southwestern island, halted all bullet-line services after an earthquake derailed out-of-service coaches last night near Kumamoto station.
The railway is leaving the accident site untouched amid aftershocks and pending a full investigation of the derailing, said Yusuke Nanri, a Kyushu Railway spokesman. He declined to comment on when the company would be able to restore service.
