Accident and Suspension
Five people were killed and at least 27 injured when a tram derailed in late August 2011. All service has been indefinitely suspended since the accident. Service was still suspended in early 2013, but 14 new two-axle trams have ordered for the line from a Brazilian manufacturer named T'Trans (based in Três Rios), and delivery is projected to begin in November 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words accident and/or suspension:
“A work is never completed except by some accident such as weariness, satisfaction, the need to deliver, or death: for, in relation to who or what is making it, it can only be one stage in a series of inner transformations.”
—Paul Valéry (1871–1945)
“There are two kinds of liberalism. A liberalism which is always, subterraneously authoritative and paternalistic, on the side of one’s good conscience. And then there is a liberalism which is more ethical than political; one would have to find another name for this. Something like a profound suspension of judgment.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
