The rail segments removed after the railway accident that occurred on January 18 are stored in a room at the Ministry of Transport. According to El País, these elements were collected by security forces, specifically by the Commission for Investigation and Railway Actions (CIAF) and the Civil Guard.
To date, there has been no specific date set for sending the samples to a specialized laboratory for technical analysis. The situation leaves unanswered when tests will be conducted on possible structural defects or anomalies related to the welding in the railway material.
No official publications from the Ministry of Transport indicate the current status of the tests nor the internal process through which these items are managed.
