The museum train derailed, injuring five people.

V turističnem muzejskem rudniku Podzemlje Pece v Mežici je v soboto dopoldne iztiril muzejski vlak, kar je povzročilo poškodbe petih oseb, med njimi tudi tujce. Dogodek je zgodil prvič v 29-letni zgodovini rudnika. Lokomotivo so izločili iz prometa in nadomestili z drugo, medtem ko je rudnik od nedelje naprej ponovno odprt. Direktorica muzeja je dejala, da še ne vedo zakaj je vlak iztiral, in so obvestili tudi Inšpektorat RS za naravne vire in rudarstvo. Poleg tega je med vožnjo s kolesom na trati Black Hole Trail padel kolesar in si poškodoval prst. Direktorica oba dogodka obžaluje.

Mežica: Museum Train Derailment Leaves Five Injured A museum train operated at the tourist attraction Podzemlje Pece in Mežica derailed on Saturday afternoon, injuring five people, according to reports. The incident occurred shortly after the train began its journey, with the locomotive derailing just 23 meters into the route before entering the mine. Police in Celje have begun collecting information regarding the incident, investigating whether a criminal act caused a general danger. The derailment took place around 11 a.m., as stated by Darja Komar, director of Podzemlje Pece, who spoke to STA. She explained that the locomotive derailed before reaching the mine entrance, causing the first two carriages to overturn. Among those injured were both locals and foreigners, according to police data. The injuries were described as minor, though the exact nature of the harm has yet to be disclosed. This marks the first such accident in the 29-year history of the museum mine. Following the incident, all further tours were canceled, and the damaged locomotive was removed from service and replaced with another. Normal operations resumed on Sunday. Despite the setback, Komar noted that the facility has seen a good turnout this season, particularly during the summer months when visitors often come by kayak. In addition to the derailment, another incident occurred at the site on Saturday. A cyclist riding along the rugged trail known as the Black Hole Trail fell and injured his hand. Komar expressed regret over both incidents, emphasizing that they are unusual occurrences at the attraction. The cause of the derailment remains under investigation. Authorities have informed the Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia for Natural Resources and Mining about the incident. While no official explanation has been released, officials are working to determine whether human error, mechanical failure, or other factors contributed to the accident. Komar confirmed that the museum will continue to operate normally once the necessary safety checks are completed. She also highlighted the popularity of the site, especially among tourists interested in kayaking and exploring the underground tunnels. The museum’s staff and management are currently focused on ensuring visitor safety and maintaining the quality of their services. As of now, there are no indications of broader systemic issues affecting the operation of the museum train. The replacement locomotive is expected to provide uninterrupted service moving forward. Visitors are advised to remain vigilant and follow all safety guidelines while visiting the attraction. The situation remains under close monitoring by local authorities.

Razlog za nesrečo še ni razkrivan. Poleg tega je med vožnjo s kolesom na trati Black Hole Trail padel kolesar in si poškodoval prst. Direktorica muzeja oba dogodka obžaluje, hkrati pa opominja, da je letošnja sezona dobra, zlasti zaradi zanimanja za kajako.
