Overview
- A train derailed around 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 near the Mercadão de Madureira station in Rio’s North Zone.
- Service remains halted between Rocha Miranda and Costa Barros, with trains operating only Central do Brasil–Mercadão de Madureira and Pavuna/São João de Meriti–Belford Roxo.
- A section of the overhead catenary collapsed onto the train, and passengers evacuated onto the tracks, with some climbing a wall to reach the street.
- SuperVia says technicians are making repairs, authorities have been notified, and an internal investigation is underway.
- Police reported detaining three men accused of attempting to steal power cables near the site on Oct. 7; SuperVia is examining whether theft of rail‑alignment parts played a role, and the detainees were later released.
